Any stations that show decodes in the database LF box never show in the activities box.  First, How do they even get their calls into the activities section without decoding any station?  On 500 if you don't decode anyone in a ten minute period your call is deleted from activities section.  Or it is that way if you are transmitting.  You get no decodes within ten minutes your deleted from being shown until you transmit and get at least one decode. I think it's same on receive if I am not mistaken.  What are your thoughts?
