Talkgroups 0 and 65536 on ARMER

[n0elb]

On the ARMER system UniTrunker shows Talkgroup 0 and 65536 from time to time.

I am wondering how they are used in the system. I get the idea that TGID 0 is not used to talk on but it seems to be a "parking spot" for maybe when a user logs off????

TGID 65536 never seems to have any users affiliated with it and since it has a binary significance it would seem to have an importance to the system.

Can anyone educate me to what they are and how they are used?

Radio 0 is usually a patch to vhf, tg 0 is what happens when a radio tries to affiliate on a tg thats not allowed on a certain site, and 65536 is the fcc id being transmitted....
