Read about APRS INET filter commands here:

Note that Xastir adds the "filter" keyword for you, so you don't
have to enter that in the filter string in Xastir.

For RF-only, you can turn on/off classes of stations/objects.  You
can also turn on tracking for one station which draws three circles
around the station and Xastir will follow it as it moves around.

If a group of stations wishes to be in a separate class from
everyone else they can set a different TOCALL and then you turn on
the filter for that...  Everybody else will disappear off your map
except those that are in that TOCALL group.
File->Configure->Defaults->Active Alternate Net and the fill-in
field labeled "ALTNET".  Note that if you do that you won't appear
to be an Xastir station to everyone else unless you use "APX" as the
prefix.
