[drats_users] won't receive without 'raw text' enabled

Meaning it doesn't have a yellow background, right?  If so, that means
it's making it clearly.

This may be because someone else is not making the repeater.

If you have the opportunity to test simplex at close range, that would
be a good data point.

Perhaps, although I've not seen any issues with repeaters.  If you can't
get clear chat traffic through, there's no hope for file transfers.

Well, some work for small amounts of data and don't work for large amounts.

So the ID800 user can receive clearly, and someone else (or is it the
ID800 user?) can receive clearly.  Is that right?

Do you all have GPS mode *disabled* on your rigs?
Are you all using the proper baud rate?  9600 for the 2820 and 800.

A simplex test would be good to do, if you can arrange it.  Also
remember that D-STAR data is highly susceptible to multipath, much more
so than a D-STAR voice transmission.
