[Xastir] No stations

[Clay Jackson]

Well, since I LIKE all the firenet stuff, it works for me.  Changed my
filter to f/PROSSR/100; and I'm now seeing everything I expected. 

For folks who haven't tried it aprx is a pretty decent digi/igate - among
other things, it has a "viscous-delay" feature that waits a specified number
of seconds (5 is default) before it digis/igates a report, just in case
someone ELSE got it first,  Around here (rural E WA), it doesn't matter so
much, but I can see where that would be a great feature in a crowded
environment.   I'm actually amazed at the number of stations I'm igating and
their distance from me - all the way from Baker City, OR, well over 100
miles.

So, what you're clarifying is that you originally meant to say:

> If you want*ONLY*  local APRS-IS traffic AND weather alerts via 
> Internet,

And in that case, you better not give the m/ filter to the Firenet
connection.
