Using sdrtrunk (v 0.6.1) I have been observing that many of the 6xxxx patches have only 1 TG patched. I had assumed that a patch would consist of 2 or more. Maybe not?

My impression in Moab is that the patches are invoked when the traffic comes from links to old conventional VHF repeaters, but I'm not 100% sure. I see the patches linked to TGs that are simulcast with VHF repeaters. Sometimes my BCD436 shows both a standard (4-digit) and a patch (5-digit) TG, but never more than one of each. Usually my scanner only shows one or the other. I haven't figured out what function the patches serve, and linking to more than one standard TG would be a possibility.
DSD+ often lists the Patch/Simulcast Supergroup/Subgroup links when they're established and when they time out. I suppose we could check them at a given time and see how many Subgroup(s) are linked to a Supergroup.

I thought the 6xxxx’s also showed up with cross site traffic.
the 63xxx tg shows up if the console is patching with vhf, or if they are patching with another tg such as air to ground 1-4 for airmed classic or lifeflight Intermountain helicopters for interop traffic.
