These ports are overwhelmingly obsolete. Users are now being urged
by all server operators to use the user-defined port 14580 filter
port instead. On port 14580, you can custom define a feed that
meets your requirements far more precisely. You can ask for a
specific radius around a given lat/long point (or a given callsign),
a rectangular box bounded by a pair of lat/long points, by callsign
or callsign prefix, by APRS symbol type and much more. <br>
<br>
You can combine multiple filter expressions to, for example, bound
your home location or state with a box of a given size + a circle
around a friend's location on a trip at the other side of the
country. You can also EXCLUDE various combinations of symbols,
areas, etc. <br>
<br>
The user-defined filter is vastly more versatile than the classic
fixed feeds and can tremendously reduce the bandwidth consumption by
not sending you a firehose of stuff you DON'T want. <br>

<br>
Note that in UIview, the command line that begins with "filter" and
then some expressions is entered into the field "Extra log-on text"
on the "Setup, APRS Server Setup" page. You will also have to hit
"Insert" and enter at least one new line into the APRS server list,
specifying a servername:14580 such as:<br>
<br>
. aprsca.net:14580 <br>
<br>
All the APRS servers, both the classic tier 1 and all the tier 2
servers, now support (and encourage the use of) the port 14580
filter port.<br>
