[Xastir] New user - after minimal installation

[Charles Tam]

Thanks for your reply. 
Could you please tell me how to transmit my position?
I'll now run callpass to get my passcode.

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!
