You were obviously in multi-op category, and it is absolutely nominal to 
send several times the same number, because the numbering sequence is 
done PER BAND.

Well, to be honest, I would find this very annoying. You can't change 
this number "by chance" : You *must* use the associated menu (no 
shortcut), you *must* enter a number and you *must* hit "OK" (or Enter). 
Honestly, if you did these thrée actions, you really *wanted* to modify 
the serial number, no ?

:-) Maybe. I just check the code and I can't find how to validate a 
serial this way... Investigations are in progress...
