I own two Motorola digital pagers type BPR2000 Model A03BGB4661C.  One
of them is currently receiving messages from a local beeper provider
and the other one is not.

The units are identical in every way (including frequency) except for
the serial number.  I would like to have both units beep when the
signal comes in so that I could carry one unit and my partner could
carry the other.  Only one of us would be on call at any given time,
but it would be nice to not have to pass the unit back and forth
constantly.

The serial number seems to be contained on a long white plug in chip
that is labeled "Motorola Permacode Code Plug".

Is there any way to reprogram this chip or to purchase a new chip that
matches the number of my other beeper?
