I didn't say anything about an ID. I am talking about firmware versions.

The firmware version used to get bumped every time a new firmware was
released. Not everything just gets a BFB298. In other words, you may
have two radios that identify has having BFB298 firmware but in
reality the firmware may not be the same.
These radios can transmit a PTT-ID. However, they are programmed by
the user and are not necessarily unique. There can be up to 5
characters of comprised of a character set of 12 DTMF signals plus
{blank} (13^5 = 371,293 combinations).
