I treat question marks in the star icon usually as a corrupted report. When I see them they usually are not where they are supposed to be and I delete the station manually. I see them all the time. I don't pay attention to how they report(via rf or tcip) as I recognize the call signs and know they aren't in their correct location.

Subject: [yaac-users] Help me understand... RX only I-gate showing on map when filtered to RF only
Can someone please help me understand what I'm seeing here? I have my filter set to only show stations from KISS-over-TCP. I see no incoming packets in the raw packet sniffer, yet N7LF-10 has shown up on my map. When I go look at N7LF-10 on aprs.fi it says it's an RX only I-gate and shows it's location about 60 miles east of me. But in YAAC, it's showing up about 20 miles south of me.
So, my question is, without any packets showing up in the packet sniffer, and with the filter set to RF only, how did this station show up? And why is it's location so far off from aprs.fi? Bad decode?
Thanks. Just trying to figure this all out.
