[aprssig] Help With Filter on Xastir

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

The filter below is asking for all stations within 500 km of the 
coordinate given AND ALSO INCLUDE all stations starting with ZL, ZM, or 
ZK.  I suspect if you look, all of the further-away stations start with 
one of those prefixes.

APRS-IS filters are OR'd together, not AND'd.  There is a negate 
capability which makes the negated term an AND NOT, but there is no AND 
ONLY capability in the base APRS-IS filter specification.
