openSPOT3 question

Wow, four months since the last post here. Pretty slim on
activity. Hopefully someone reads this.
I have a question for anyone using an openSPOT3 with the TGIF
network.
I can easily link to talkgroups with a group call to the
talkgroup number. At that point, TGIF selfcare shows me as
linked to the TG. However, a group call to 4000 does not unlink
me. I am able to change talkgroups with a group call to the new
talkgroup. But unlinking with a group call to 4000 does not
work.
I would love for someone with an openSPOT3 to try and reproduce
this issue. I am using TGIF selfcare to verify whether I am
linked to a TG or not.

Sending 4000 on TGIF does not UNLINK as expected on BM
It merely switches you to TG4000 which has been programmed on
the server to do nothing
I have an openspot3 and sending 4000 does what it is supposed to
do. switches me to TG4000

Thanks for the reply. I did find the problem. The openSPOT
simply doesn't play well with the TGIF server. The openSPOT will
occasionally send through commands on TS1. But it's only
supposed to be using TS2. Unfortunately, TGIF listens to it on
TG1 sometimes... but not other times. So I can get connected to
a TG on TS1 on TGIF even though I have a simplex hotspot that's
only supposed to operate on TS2. The TGIF folks have elected not
to fix this. They think it's a SharkRF problem... and SharkRF
thinks it's a TGIF problem. In reality, it is both and either
one could fix it if they were motivated to do so. But I have
moved on.
