  Rather than filter the display, have you tried connecting to a filtered 
port on the internet server?  Select port 14580 and put 'm/100' in the 
filter parameter box.  Then you won't tie up your internet feed with the 
flood of data, and you'll only get packets originating within 100km of 
your position.
