I guess let me be more clear about what I'm trying to do and see if someone has a solution that is possible and 'legal' without stepping on toes. I want to be able to employ various APRS-IS filters. I want to range limit the stations I see, typically 500 miles. But I also want to see a handful of stations no matter where they are (i.e., mine, my wife's, my son's, etc). I don't care if this is from one server or several. Right now I cheat by having one APRS-IS connection for each filter I need. But I don't want to gate out to the server multiple times (or to RF for that matter). So right now I have the following server connections on this machine: newengland.aprs2.net, m/200, yes xmit, yes startup rotate.aprs2.net, b/N1MIE*/N1MLG*/W1SSN*/N1CLV*/W1GTT* f/N1MIE*/30 f/N1MLG*/30, no xmit, yes startup Can I put all that filter stuff on one line thus combining all the filters? Is it AND or OR between the filters? >> Speaking of filtering, is there a size limit to the filter?

I was talking about the APRS-IS filter that goes in the "Filter Parameters" block of the "Configure Internet" window associated with Interface Control. Is there a limit on how long this "filter parameter" text is?
