Reflector and talkgroup linking (and unlinking) is done by the network, not the
openSPOT4 . The openSPOT4 has to make quick calls, which are the same as
pressing PTT for a short time on a radio (kerchunking). These empty calls will
also show up on the BrandMeister Network's dashboard.
Quick call is useful for linking/unlinking talkgroups and reflectors . Starting a
short private call to a reflector ID (between 4000 and 5000) will link the
reflector. Starting a short group call to a talkgroup ID will link that TG. On the
BrandMeister network, reflectors are unlinked by starting a
private call to ID
4000, and both reflectors and talkgroups are unlinked by starting a group call
to ID 4000.
Quick call shortcuts can be stored in the openSPOT4's current configuration
profile. If you hover the mouse cursor over a saved talkgroup's button, or the
button is pressed for a few seconds then the (BrandMeister) talkgroup's name
will appear.
If the Auto group call 4000 before shortcut call checkbox is checked, then the
openSPOT4 will automatically start a quick call to TG4000 to unlink everything
before quick calling the desired ID.
