4000 Disconnect?
This is probably one of the most asked about (or used) talk
group or feature, that does not exist here on TGIF Network ???
There is no need to disconnect from any talk group here, just
key up the TG you want to go to. ;D
the network will release you from the previous TG

Unless the operators or "quick" keying in the TG you are in.
Then you have to wait for a pause in the qso, in order to key
out.

OR
use selfcare to switch talk group ;D
or as I have had to do on BM 310... just unplug the hotspot then
reboot (if you hate PCs and smart phones) :o

I was on TG 31665 last early this morning. Being really new, am
I still connecred to this talk group after I turned my radio
off? A comment above said if you go to another talk group the
prior one is disconnected. What if I am done playing radio? I
want to make sure I am not tying up a TG by still being
connected. Sorry for a very basic question.

yes
your hot spot will continue to receive traffic from TGIF server
and transmit to you or anyone within range even if no one is
listening

thanks for your concern, but even if you leave the hot spot on
and radio on 24/7, it wont tie up anything at TGIF.
unless you have more than one hot spot setup incorrectly to work
together.
when you are finished playing radio its up to you...
-leave it connected to the TG you were last on
-change to your favorite TG for next time
-put on 777
it really don't matter
then turn off hot spot, or leave it on (I leave mine on at home,
the one in the car gets turned off)
Great questions, Thanks

I really appreciate the clarifications. Makes good sense to me.
If one were to change their openspot profile, say to the
Brandmeister profile and were using BM or not, then I guess the
TGIF talk group would still be connected and sending audio but
of course the openspot wouldn't be hearing it. You all are just
too smart! Thank goodness for you and the team's knowledge and
dedication to the TGIF network.

This is only reasonable if the user wants to use TGIF network
EXCLUSIVELY!!!!! If a HAM wants to use another network he
needs a method to disconnect cleanly from TGIF. As it stands,
4000 is broken, and from what I see there is no intention of
making it work. Only solution is to use an usused TG like 9998
to key out if you don't have access to selfcare.
I came here looking for a cleaner solution but it looks like
that ain't gonna happen any time soon. Go figure!
