The
transceiver can initiate a call to the transceivers having the same Group ID by specifying the Group ID. The transceiver
can also initiate a call to all transceivers by specifying the Group ID for which “ALL” is configured.

Broadcast Call information is added to a Group Call and sent by the transceiver initiating a Group Call while Broadcast
