Group 0 messages are treated as broadcast, and are not acknowledged or
replied to. Therefore they must not be used when Packet over-air protocol is
used.

Repeaters ignore messages with GroupID 0.

GroupID 255 is reserved for future use, and is not a permitted value at present.

Identities can be set with the following commands (see p.63 for detailed information):

GroupID
