[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 400259, member: 11668"]Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "repeater". If you're strict about it and you only accept the traditional ABCDABCD format, then they also come up once in 10,000 serials. For either a radar or a repeater, the first four digits can be anything you want, and then the last four digits don't have any choices at all; they have to match the first four, either forward (for a repeater) or backward (for a radar). Then one in 1,000,000 serials will be both a radar *and* a repeater, of the form ABBAABBA. And of course, one in 10,000,000 will be a solid, of the form AAAAAAAA. These serials were included in the 1-in-10,000 figure given above for radars and repeaters individually; the chance of finding a serial that's *just* a radar, and not anything fancier, is slightly lower than that.[/QUOTE]
