Well, since I LIKE all the firenet stuff, it works for me. Changed my filter to f/PROSSR/100; and I'm now seeing everything I expected.
For folks who haven't tried it aprx is a pretty decent digi/igate - among other things, it has a "viscous-delay" feature that waits a specified number of seconds (5 is default) before it digis/igates a report, just in case someone ELSE got it first, Around here (rural E WA), it doesn't matter so much, but I can see where that would be a great feature in a crowded environment. I'm actually amazed at the number of stations I'm igating and their distance from me - all the way from Baker City, OR, well over 100 miles.
