I prefer the exchange three times, the same is true for calls calling
me when I'm running.  Why?  Because if there's iffy conditions, a bit of
fading and a bit of multipath if you only have two and they don't agree
you have to ask for a repeat.  If you have three and one of them is
different then you know what the correct data is.

Yes, yes, yes.  It's a real mess when people send me serials seperated
by - or / or anything but space.  Every time

599 123 123 123 

is so much better to grab into the box.
