This is the link for the current filter guide
I would start with "m/300" so only APRS stations, objects, mobiles, et al within a 300 mi (or is it km) appear on your UIVIEW map being used. This will take a lot of strain off the APRS-IS and your system instead of streaming the entire APRS world into your computer! You can use compound filters to narrow down your focus of interest. Mobiles only etc.
