Giovanni,

NMAP2 will display all stations when you configure the filter = 0 through "Edit 
Source"
in the data selection widget in NMAP2. NMAP doesn't use a station list, but 
rather
just uses the lat/lon data in the surface file that fit the displayed region.
If you are not seeing data at stations which are in the surface data file, then
check your SLAT and SLON values in your decoded data file with SFPARM=slat;slon
in SFLIST. If the values are -9999 then the station location information is not
being found in the station table being used with the decoder, and therefor NMAP2
won't know where to plot them.
