Note this does not solve Steve's problem. Reason is that a lot of position 
packets are MIC-E encoded where the ToCall is not avaliable for setting up 
an ALTNET. MIC-E uses the ToCall for a part of the position and some 
status flags. With MIC-E the use of ALTNET is therefore limited, a lot of 
stations will leak through the filter.

If the SAR takes place in a limited area then maybe Steve's problem can be 
reduced by setting up a range-limit, at least that will keep out the 
position packets from outside the area.

Kind regards,

Henk.
