+SHOW/DX potentially shows all the spots available in the system. Using
+SHOW/MYDX will, instead, filter the availble spots using any spot filter 
+that you have set, first. 
+
+This command, together with ACCEPT/SPOT or REJECT/SPOT, will allow
+you to customise the spots that you receive.
+
+So if you have said: ACC/SPOT on hf
+
+Doing a SHOW/MYDX will now only, ever, show HF spots. All the other 
+options on SH/DX can still be used.
