In the incredibly unlikely event that you were at a race and someone had the same number personal transponder as you, you could just change the number to a free one.

You can do the math on it but it is highly(!) unlikely that you will bump into someone with the same number at a race!

The problem is potentially that AMB doesn't use consecutive numbers. They randomise within the 10 digit (i think) numbers band that are on the transponder.

I had a big think about it before I got one but realistically, the odds are worse than the national lottery that you will ever have to change the number

Had I mentioned that it is smaller, black, cheaper and has a blue LED
You can also change the backplate on it to have lugs or not and change the wires yourself!
eh? if its a personal number, how can some one else have it?
