Can someone please show me how to write the code for a filter to be able to turn off objects like winlink with a red diamond and W? Also black diamond with a D. I have tried filter –o/a/DW and -0/a\DW Jerry N7YGE

-o is an object filter which is based on the object name.
I suspect you're looking for a -s filter which is a symbol
filter.
Please give me a few of the stations you'd like to not see so
that I can verify exactly which symbol they're using to build you
a suitable -s/ symbol filter.

Nice map, but I don't think that's APRSIS32... If it was, you
could test the positive filter with Control-G for a filter test.
But here's what I think you need:
-s//a/WD
Yes, there's 2 slashes after the s and one slash after the a. It
says to suppress all "a" symbols from the alternate table (the red
diamond) with an overlay of W or D.

Did not work. Did you try it and it worked for you? See below as to the right orientation of the /a for a red diamond. Yes I am using SARTRACK but all programs have the filter box and is universal. So should work for all aprs programs. Please send code tested and works for you. http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/aprs-is-filters -s//a/DW | Blocks all packets using a red diamond (\a) overlaid with DW |
Since the diamond is red should it use the \a and not /a? -s/\a/DW Thank you. Jerry N7YGE

Did I test it? Yes, that's why I mentioned that you could test
it yourself if you used APRSIS32 which includes a filter test
capability, but only in a positive sense.
READ the definition of the s filter from the quoted page:
| s/pri/alt/over |
Symbol filter |
pri = symbols in primary table (| => /)
alt = symbols in alternate table (| => /)
over = overlay character (case sensitive)
For example:
s/-> This will pass all House and Car symbols (primary table)
s//# This will pass all Digi with or without overlay
s//#/T This will pass all Digi with overlay of capital "T"
|
Note that PRIMARY table symbols go after the first FORWARD slash
and alternate table (ones that can use overlays) go after the
SECOND slash and the overlays go after the THIRD slash and are
CaSe SeNsItIvE.
So, if we look at one of the stations you want to get rid of, say
N7LOB-10 at http://aprs.fi/N7LOB-10
and then click on the Raw Packets link, we see that they all come
from WINLINK and look like:
2020-03-07 07:23:00 EST: WINLINK>APWL2K,TCPIP*,qAS,WLNK:;KD7IIW-10*071222z4151. NW11152. Wa144.950MHz 1200 R5m Winlink Gateway

But APRSIS32 makes this easier by showing:
N7LOB-10
1200 R5m Winlink Gateway

2020-03-07 11:59:16 (18m54s)
WINLINK->TCPIP*
Note that the symbol is Wa. This means alternate table (since
the first character isn't /) symbol a with an overlay of W.
Finding one of the DSTAR objects is a bit trickier since they
have an embedded space, but if you search for KB7ZEN* in aprs.fi's
Raw Packets display, you get:
2020-03-06 21:42:10

Which APRSIS32 kindly describes as:
KB7ZEN B
440 Voice 438.50000MHz +0.0000MHz
Sym: DARES (Da)
App: D-Star Gateway (01)

2020-03-07 12:09:50 (19m24s)
KB7ZEN-S->TCPIP*
Which is the same alternate table a symbol with an overlay of D.
So plugging alternate table with overlays D and W into the
formula for the s filter, we get:
s//a/DW
When I put that filter into an APRSIS32 Filter Test window, I get
LOTS of packets including:

Which kindly tells me that packets were hitting on both the D and
W overlay characters which is confirmed if you use the aprs101.pdf
to visually parse the packet data and find the symbol and overlay
characters that match.
Further, if I telnet to my local friendly APRS-IS server and set
up that filter (see http://www.aprs-is.net/Connecting.aspx
for instructions), I get the following packets:

Which you can see (if you've studied aprs101.pdf and can visually
parse packets) includes both the D and W overlays of the alternate
table a symbol.
So, yes, I've tested the recommended filter in the positive
sense. Testing a negative filter is much harder in that you have
to go through a large (I use planet-wide) stream of data and
determine that the target packets are NOT present.
So, my challenge to you is did YOU apply and test the negative
form of the filter properly? What makes you believe it "did not
work"? Is it possible that it DID work and SARTRACK is simply
displaying stations that it heard before the negative filter was
applied? Did SARTRACK truly apply the negative filter to the
upstream APRS-IS server connection?
And if you need help confirming those questions, please inquire
on the SARTRACK support list as they are not APRS-general
questions.

PS. An alternat esymbol to get rid of
all packets from WinLink would be -b/WINLINK or -u/APWL2K. For
the DStar gateways, you could use -u/APDG* or -u/APDG01/APDG02.
The trick to filtering APRS-IS is to deterine what common feature
is shared by the target stations' packets and NOT shared by
desired station packets.

Seems like the hotpots have bloomed and they're now sending two id packets ( w1aw-X and "w1aw X").
Resource discovery with APRS is good but now it's too many too often cluttering the heard list.

Maybe you can skin this cat a different way. In the APRS client called APRSIS32, I used this: -b/CW*/DW*. Note the * on the end. The reason I chose to use “-b” was because there may be a time when the symbol is used incorrectly and I wouldn’t see it. You are looking at a symbol with a specific overlay so it may be very specific. Fred N7FMH

Good idea Fred, but that gets rid of the CWOP weather stations
mostly. The original request was to get rid of WinLink stations and
D-Star gateways.

table (the red diamond) with an overlay of W or D.

Picky any of them.
Thank
you for the help.
-o is an object filter which is based on the object name.
I suspect you're looking for a -s filter which is a symbol
filter.
Please give me a few of the stations you'd like to not see
so that I can verify exactly which symbol they're using to
build you a suitable -s/ symbol filter.

Greetings Lynn, This is an awesome description! I have always had trouble wrapping my head around testing filters. I usually end up with what I want but it takes a while! Best regards, Fred N7FMH

Subject: Re: [APRSISCE] Filter Out Objects Did I test it? Yes, that's why I mentioned that you could test it yourself if you used APRSIS32 which includes a filter test capability, but only in a positive sense. READ the definition of the s filter from the quoted page: s/pri/alt/over | Symbol filter | pri = symbols in primary table (| => /)
alt = symbols in alternate table (| => /)
over = overlay character (case sensitive)
For example: s/-> This will pass all House and Car symbols (primary table) s//# This will pass all Digi with or without overlay s//#/T This will pass all Digi with overlay of capital "T" |
Note that PRIMARY table symbols go after the first FORWARD slash and alternate table (ones that can use overlays) go after the SECOND slash and the overlays go after the THIRD slash and are CaSe SeNsItIvE. So, if we look at one of the stations you want to get rid of, say N7LOB-10 at http://aprs.fi/N7LOB-10 and then click on the Raw Packets link, we see that they all come from WINLINK and look like:

Which you can see (if you've studied aprs101.pdf and can visually parse packets) includes both the D and W overlays of the alternate table a symbol. So, yes, I've tested the recommended filter in the positive sense. Testing a negative filter is much harder in that you have to go through a large (I use planet-wide) stream of data and determine that the target packets are NOT present. So, my challenge to you is did YOU apply and test the negative form of the filter properly? What makes you believe it "did not work"? Is it possible that it DID work and SARTRACK is simply displaying stations that it heard before the negative filter was applied? Did SARTRACK truly apply the negative filter to the upstream APRS-IS server connection? And if you need help confirming those questions, please inquire on the SARTRACK support list as they are not APRS-general questions. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32 PS. An alternat esymbol to get rid of all packets from WinLink would be -b/WINLINK or -u/APWL2K. For the DStar gateways, you could use -u/APDG* or -u/APDG01/APDG02. The trick to filtering APRS-IS is to deterine what common feature is shared by the target stations' packets and NOT shared by desired station packets.

Which you can see (if you've studied aprs101.pdf and can visually parse packets) includes both the D and W overlays of the alternate table a symbol. So, yes, I've tested the recommended filter in the positive sense. Testing a negative filter is much harder in that you have to go through a large (I use planet-wide) stream of data and determine that the target packets are NOT present. So, my challenge to you is did YOU apply and test the negative form of the filter properly? What makes you believe it "did not work"? Is it possible that it DID work and SARTRACK is simply displaying stations that it heard before the negative filter was applied? Did SARTRACK truly apply the negative filter to the upstream APRS-IS server connection? And if you need help confirming those questions, please inquire on the SARTRACK support list as they are not APRS-general questions. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32 PS. An alternat esymbol to get rid of all packets from WinLink would be -b/WINLINK or -u/APWL2K. For the DStar gateways, you could use -u/APDG* or -u/APDG01/APDG02. The trick to filtering APRS-IS is to deterine what common feature is shared by the target stations' packets and NOT shared by desired station packets.

Ok, that's not APRSIS32, but we'll go on anyway.
According to http://www.aprs-is.net/javaprsfilter.aspx:
| o/obj1/obj2... |
Object filter |
Pass all objects with the exact name of obj1, obj2,
... (* wild card allowed)
(spaces not allowed) (| => / and ~
=> *) |
So a filter of -o/W7W|CH212/W7W|SK172 should work for you. Or
-o/W7W|* to wipe out all objects that start with W7W/
I'll have to check my internal filter implementation to see if I
handle the | and ~ character substitutions for / and *. Also not
sure if this is a javAPRSsrvr filter feature or if it also works
in aprsc servers.

Good
idea Fred, but that gets rid of the CWOP
weather stations mostly. The original request
was to get rid of WinLink stations and D-Star
gateways.

In
the APRS client called APRSIS32, I used
this: -b/CW*/DW*. Note the * on the end.
The
reason I chose to use “-b” was because there
may be a time when the symbol is used
incorrectly and I wouldn’t see it. You are
looking at a symbol with a specific overlay
so it may be very specific.

Did
not work. Did you try it and it worked for
you? See below as to the right orientation
of the /a for a red diamond. Yes I am using
SARTRACK but all programs have the filter
box and is universal. So should work for
all aprs programs. Please send code tested
and works for you.

-s//a/DW

Blocks
all packets using a red diamond (\a)
overlaid with DW

Since
the diamond is red should it use the \a and
not /a?
-s/\a/DW
Thank
you.

Nice
map, but I don't think that's APRSIS32...
If it was, you could test the positive
filter with Control-G for a filter test.
But here's what I think you need:
-s//a/WD
Yes,
there's 2 slashes after the s and one slash
after the a. It says to suppress all "a"
symbols from the alternate table (the red
diamond) with an overlay of W or D.

Thank

-o
is an object filter which is based on the
object name.
I
suspect you're looking for a -s filter
which is a symbol filter.
Please
give me a few of the stations you'd like
to not see so that I can verify exactly
which symbol they're using to build you a
suitable -s/ symbol filter.

Better yet, can you show us some raw packets of the stations you wish to filter?

This is SARTrack which the friend I am trying to help uses. He is able to turn the sota objects off but has to do so manually every time he restarts the program. I have APRSISCE now running and I see zero sota objects/symbols. No W7W shown anywhere. I will go turn on SARTrack to see if I can see any raw data. Jerry N7YGE
