Abstract
A method and apparatus for assigning a talk group to a radio within a communication system is provided herein. During operation a router receives a communication from a radio over a channel. The communication uses a first talk group that is not assigned to the channel. In response, the router will forward identification information for the user over the channel using a pre-arranged second talk group. Once communication is received using the second talk group (at, for example a console), the receiver will program the radio with an appropriate talk group.
