You have the basic idea. If someone has 10 radios, they use 10 IDs. The radios need not scan all groups - only those 10 used in their company. I maintained such a system with many companies on it. Some all used one group. Some had unique groups for each radio. Some had several groups. Some had groups for everyone and others just for the 'higher ups'.
