^rHelp for Radio Serial Number^r
                        
This feature can be used to change the  radio serial  number contained
in the loaded  programming file. The format of the serial number is as
follows:

		DDDAAADDDD 

where "D" is defined to be a digit (0-9) and 
      "A" is defined to be an alphanumeric character (A-Z, 0-9).

Changing this data field overwrites the pc file serial number.

Before a radio is programmed  the field programmer  checks if both the
radio serial number and the serial number in the pc file match. If not
the following message is generated:

	"Overwrite serial number in radio (Y/N)?"

Answering  this question with "Y" keeps  the defined  serial number in 
the  programming file  and overwrites  the serial  number in the radio  
with the serial  number defined in the programming file. This will not 
occur until the radio is programmed.

Answering  the question  with "N"  copies the  serial number  that  is
programmed  in the radio  into the programming file. When the radio is
programmed  its  original  serial  number  is  kept.  On  saving   the
programming file to disk the radio serial number is then stored in the
programming file.
