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.  <br>

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