Joe, I *think* this system works like other "trunking" schemes, where each radio has an ID number associated to it, which it broadcasts with each PTT. THIS is what has to be authorized for repeater access, not the talkgroup. But I may be wrong - I'm not that familiar with MotoTRBO. (We do have a MotoTRBO system where I work - I can check further if necessary.)
