Please excuse my ignorance re data sharing, but I'm seriously confused !!!
I have 2 windows open, One with FR24, the other with PF.
FR24 shows aircraft near Perth, Western Australia with a radar code of T-F4V
I set up a FILTER to only display the F4V radar, and I get aircraft all over the world... Which leads me to believe F4V could be a shared data stream of some kind. I have noticed this with a radar code of NET1 as well.
When I look at PlaneFinder.net I see SIMILAR (but not EXACTLY) the same aircraft near Perth.
There are in fact a lot more visible on PF than on FR24. PF=13 visible, FR24=6 (in the same area of South West WA)
So... Can anyone enlighten me as to what's happening please ?
Thanks, Greg.
Planeplotter feeds are shown as NET1
Using the COAA PlanePlotter software sharing options.

It's possible that FR24 doesn't have the same local receiver coverage around Perth as Planefinder.
Net1 is the group radar alias for PlaneFinder feeds, as Brain has posted. T-F4V is probably a similar group alias.
