Similarly, there are 5 possible abbreviation levels for the serial numbers :

• Not abbreviated
• Half abbreviated : leading zeros are replaced by T.
• Abbreviated : The 0 and the 9 are shortened in T and N.
• Pro : The 0, 1, 4, 5 and 9 are shortened to T, A, V, E and N.
• Custom - there is a custom table. so each number can be shortened to a letter of your choice. Have fun.

This option only affects serial numbers, but never numbers in callsigns.
