My sincere thanks for taking the time to explain the current position to me.
I understand quite well, the complexities of serial number management in a
multiple transmitter environment. There have been a number of approaches to
dealing with the problem, used by various loggers, over the years (many of
them unsatisfactory).
I certainly appreciate the simplicity of the approach you describe, I just
wanted to understand whether Wayne had programmed any alternative options.
I now have my answer, I'm happy with it and can move on to sorting some real
problems.
Thanks again.
