It's easier to change your filtering in Xastir itself, zoom out, and
see how many stations are listed on your status line.  No need to
write scripts and such.

Crank up the expire on Xastir to keep stations in the in-memory
database for the time desired.  Deselect the "Select Mine", "Select
Via Digi", and "Select Net" tabs.  Select Stations, probably
deselect Objects/Items.  Zoom out.

The first number out of "19/18627 Stations" tells me that I am
seeing 19 stations on my screen that fit the filter parameters.
