1   The macro that issues the serial number is often sent  thus:

241241241241  or better  241-241-241. However, it would  be better with
just a space 241 241 241
or even a  cr/lf:
241
241
241
This would help if the UOS did not  work or QRM was bugging.



I prefer to use 241-241-241-241 versus 241 241 241 241 
in order to get around the unshift on space (going to letters on a space  
character).
 
With 241 241 241 241 241 you should be sending 2 4 1 sp figs  2 4 1
with 241-241-241-241 you are only sending 2 4 1 - 2 4 1 
 
which is a little more efficient.
