AIS and new DataHub AIS Sat Download

Help please,

I'm admittedly a novice OpenCPN user and maybe I'm missing something. I have a Predictwind Datahub and a new feature they just enabled is to get AIS targets from satellite source and send those onto the NMEA network. The items show up with a CallSign value of DATAHUB.

My issue is that now my vessel appears in OpenCPN with that callsign at my position and triggers an AIS Collision warning. I can't find a way to filter that out without just flat out turning off the Datahub data stream. I'm on an open water passage, and getting the AIS data for faster ships that are beyond VHF range is actually pretty nice to see. But not at the cost of having a constant warning appear. Is there anyway to filter certain AIS targets (not talking about the anchored option), like by MMSI number so I can kill my own vessel on the screen?
Thanks
Tim SV-Always

Is Toolbar -> Ships -> MMSI Properties and adding your MMSI to the list of exceptions as one you want to ignore what you are looking for?
