This is a serious issue, but with a simple solution. Download the
VE7CC packet program ( and also after installation, download the
update ). Then connect to Ernie via the Telnet feature. The Ve7CC
program is really easy to use, but best of all, it allows the user to
set the filters they wish. Just go into filters, select what you want,
and then click on the box "Tell Cluster". 

Now, disconnect go back to your RF setup, and you will find the
filters are still in place.
