[Xastir] RE: Filter Parameter for Internet Server/METARS/FIRENET

[Tom Robson, ve7did]

Pretty impressive.  FireNet managed to almost completely clog up my screen 
with some 16,000 icons in a half hour or so when viewing the world.  Xastir 
manages all these with no problem.  It seems that APRS has caught on!!!
