+=== 5^LOAD/KEPS^Load new keps data
+=== 5^LOAD/KEPS [nn]^Load new keps data from message
+If there is no message number then reload the current Keps data from

+
+If there is a message number, then it will take the message, run

fed new style DX Protocol rather normal user commands.
on <band> - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
on <region> - eg hf vhf uhf shf (see SHOW/BANDS)
+on <from>/<to> - eg 1000/4000 14000-30000 (in Khz)
+ <from>-<to>
<number> - the number of spots you want
<from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
+<from>/<to>
<prefix> - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
*<suffix> - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
day <number> - starting <number> days ago
day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
-
+ <from>/<to>
+
info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
by <call> - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call> is the

+ You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so
+ eg by W dxcc
e.g.
SH/DX iota
SH/DX iota eu-064
SH/DX qra jn86
+ SH/DX dxcc oq2
+ SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
=== 0^SHOW/DXCC <prefix>^Interrogate the spot database by country

callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it is
and then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.
+
+This is now an alias for 'SHOW/DX DXCC'
The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command.
e.g.
SH/DXCC G
- SH/DXCC W on 20m info iota
+ SH/DXCC W on 20m iota
+
+This can be done with the SHOW/DX command like this:-
+
+ SH/DX dxcc g
+ SH/DX dxcc w on 20m iota
=== 0^SHOW/DXSTATS^Show the DX Statistics for last 31 days
Show the total DX spots for the last 31 days
