Without knowing your call, it's difficult to do much investigating.
Here's what could be happening: for the m/500 filter to work, you need
to have transmitted a position (otherwise, how could it determine if a
station was within 500km of you?). Until you transmit a position, you
will get no data with this filter.

Also, you need to be "verified" to transmit to the APRS-IS. Did you
run callpass to get your passcode? Then enter this passcode when
configuring the interface.

I usually open View > Incoming Data when troubleshooting interfaces.
You may find interesting success or error codes here.

Good luck!
