Broadcastify Calls unknown talkgroups restricted access

[sonm10]

I routinely use the Broadcastify Calls to check for unknown talkgroups. This morning I get
"This Group ID can only be accessed by system broadcaster or an admin" on all unknown talkgroups. What's up with this? System is Minnesota's ARMER, btw.

I don't recall if it was always like what you describe or not. But I will say it makes sense. Any number of those unknown talkgroups could be sensitive HIPPA / surveillance / etc talkgroups that shouldnt' be provided to the public via the platform. It would make sense to me that they were not available for a non-Calls provider to listen to. Even Calls providers likely can't listen to unknown talkgroups outside of systems that they actually provide a Calls feed for.

Can confirm, I can only listen to unknown talkgroups on my node.

Bummer. I've been able to find a lot of new talkgroups and fix a lot of talkgroups in the DB using this mode. There is still a lot of talkgroups that go against the TOS. Some because they are misidentified. Some because the have a generic name. Some because they haven't been noticed.

I noticed this on a few systems that I monitor. VERY disappointing as I monitor them to submit to the database as I am often the only one in my area that submit data.

I run an Ohio MARCS BCFY Calls node. I can listen to any unknown talkgroup on the Ohio MARCS system

Ah man, the orphaned talkgroups was my favorite loopholes.
I also liked to find new groups during special events.

We are admins on the calls is why, appears for whatever reason there was a change and the others can not.

Any chance we can add these unknown groups to a personal playlist?

You can with the new "manual add group" feature:
