You should see your own Xastir station on it's map. Check your "Station -> Filter Data" and "Station->Filter Display" menus. If the above _is_ your Xastir station then it's probably just those local filtering settings.

You say the K4XTT station above is not appearing in Xastir: Should I assume that it is a different station than the Xastir station? If the weather station is a separate station and you're not seeing it on the Xastir map, it could be because:

* You need a range filter in Xastir or some other filter to pull it in from the servers.

* You're using a range filter in Xastir but not transmitting your location so the servers don't know what's in range of your Xastir station.

* You're using a range filter in Xastir but the weather station is not within the range of where you said Xastir was located.

* Some other filter is in place but not performing as you intended when you wrote it.

* Filter Display or Filter Data settings are wrong for what you're trying to view.

Those are what I can think of in short order.

Server-side Filter Commands. You use these against port 14580 instead of 10152:

10152 is a full feed. Most people use the filtered port instead these days to reduce the amount of traffic they're pulling down, often with a range filter.
