LORA filters

[Nick Z]

Hi guys, is there a way to highlight LoRa stations and iGates (filter to show only those)? I'd like to get an idea of what the coverage area is for them and how many users there are.

Thanks

Hi,

Almost all LoRa devices have a destination callsign assigned in the APL*
prefix, so try a filter for a tocall of APL*. It may catch a few other
stations, but they're less common.

Hi, most known destination/Tocalls are:

APLRT1

APLT00

APLRFT

APLOX1

APE32L

APLRG1

APLG01

APLRFD

watch out for the stations using Mic-E encoding as you lose the original Destination_Field

Following up on this old thread.

Would it be possible to add a filter "Station class: LoRa" to the default filter list? I keep on adding a custom filter "Destination call = APL*" as I work on multiple computers without logging in...

I believe that LoRa stations are very popular and the TOCALLs are well understood by now, and APL* is a safe bet,.
