 When I try to do Multiple QSO Operations/Set Group number with group number 
 254 I get a small window saying Error Value is not within required range! 
 But I can still put in group number 254 (and so on...) in the QSO entry 
 window, QSO one by one!
 Is there a limit att group number above 253 or is the Multiple QSO 
 Operations/Set Group number not prepared for operations from 254 and up?

This does appear to be a problem.  I tried to set group number to
1234 and the box accepted only the first three digits.  I guess no
one tested this function in 8.01 or later.  It sounds like something
Paul will have to fix.

In 7.0x and earlier, 255 was the highest possible group number.  Group
#254 was implicitly reserved for QRP, and group #255 was implicitly
reserved for YL (or the other way around).  I don't know what changes
Paul made, if any, in 8.0x.

In the 8.01 Release Notes is the line:

The number of groups that can be used is unlimited.

I think Allan has a valid complaint.

I did not mean to imply that he did not have a valid complaint.

I should have said,  I don't know what changes Paul made, if any, *to
the numbers for these implicit (reserved) groups*  in 8.0x.
