The site says:
"We recommended that the following be included in the MSG GROUP in these 
radios:

"NWS-*,BOM*

"Setting NWS-* will restrict the display of the ZONE messages to only 
those of a WARNING level (ADVISE and WATCH level are transmitted with an 
underscore (NWS_*) which does not match the message filter)

"Setting BOM* will allow the plain text warning messages to be displayed."

But when I watch the packets with my TNC I see that all NWS have an 
underscore: warn, advis, cancl, watch. So putting that NWS-* setting 
stops any from being displayed including the warnings. I guess it must 
have changed since the info was put up?
