Thanks fellas, I had already tried removing the filter string thinking maybe 
it was something with the filter, that wasn't it. after while i stumbled 
across the aprsfl.aprs2.net server on a google search and tried it. about 10 
min after connecting to the server it started downloading stations with the 
filter in place. xastir is a little slow to start seeing stations on start up 
but is up and working with that server configuration in place.
