[Xastir] Differences between aprs.fi and xastir?

[Fred Hillhouse]

I suspect it will have something to do with your filter or server
configuration.
For your filters, check out this link and add/subtract from your own filter
settings. If you added b/CW*/DW* I suspect you would get a plethora of
weather stations.

For your server configuration, most people connect to APRS-IS. Another
option is Firenet which has a bit more available. To use firenet, connect to
firenet.us and use port 14580. I don't know how any of this is configured in
Xastir so that you will need to discover on your own.

Greetings fellow Xastir users!

I've noticed that a couple of weather stations near me don't show up on
xastir, but do show up on aprs.fi. Some weather sations show up on xastir,
but most don't. I can't tell any difference in the frequency of updates or
anythign else comparing the ones that work vs the ones that don't and was
wondering if anyone had any advice.

If I fetch a findu trail, the station is found, but ages out.

Example of call sign that works on both: WB4QEV-4

Example of call sign that only shows on aprs.fi: CW2227
