The port 15480 filter port WILL NOT WORK until you send a filter 
statement.  The filters are additive -- you must sent one to get 
anything.  Further, if you use a filter based on your own location (such 
as "everything within 50 km of my QTH" you must send a position report 
before anything willl come back. 

Full details on the filter port settings are on my website at:
