Wouldn't it be nice if say, a group of people around the country (or

that group would have their traffic automatically routed to all the

local repeater was already in use.
(That's where G3 'could' come in handy, sending a message instead to
the members radio on that repeater, underneath the QSO without
hindering the other users...then you could switch to another
repeater/node and continue.)
I suppose you could subscribe to a 'multicast group', something like a
reflector that handles instantaneous multiple connections.
Food for thought...

The commercial digital world calls this "talk groups" and has had it for
at least a decade.
An Amateur talk group system would need to come up with a way to
"self-register" with a particular talk group.
Could be done. Interesting concept.
