I copied the basic tshark parameters from someone else.  When I run the 
capture without -2, the output is slightly different, although it seems to 
capture the same basic information.

It appears the parameters -R, -2, and -Y have been changing between 
versions.  Current versions of tshark have -Y, which applies a display 
filter.  My version (v1.8.10 on Oracle Linux 6) doesn't have -Y though.
