 You could unwisely transmit TG 2350 on Time Slot 1 of a repeater, while it is already fixed on Time Slot 2. This effectively makes use of both Time Slots simultaneously. BrandMeister just carries the data, it doesn't concern itself with Time Slots.
-In the UK - Talk Groups 1-90 do not pass over the network, except Talk Group 75 that is used to cluster repeaters together in the Salop Cluster (Shropshire). This can also be accessed by using TG 23575. Talk Group 91 with Sub Groups 901, 902 and 903 to which to QSY. The UK in general has opted to use TG 2350 as the calling group as opposed to 235 the MCC Talk Group, although All talk groups above 90 will pass over the network. They do not have to be named, as no one person has complete knowledge of designations. Use the number, it is so much simpler.

 As it stands currently, all MMDVM Repeaters in the UK are connected to the ‘A’ server, Hotspot Users are generally  connected to the ‘F’ server, and Motorola and Hytera Repeaters are connected to the ‘K’ server, and the so-called FreeDMR network that has some other differences has its own server. All four are interlinked that allows the 235, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, and regional talk groups to pass between them.
+As an overview I see a DMR communciation system that has been fractured for sometime for probably several reasons, that I shall not discuss. There are several networks with BrandMeister and IPSC2 being the most populated. There are currently 84 UK Repeaters on BrandMeister and 70 on IPSC2, however there are a small number like mine - GB7HT - that are on both. There are 9 repeaters on FreeStar (FreeDMR).

 I do this from my experience as a long-time communicator from the professional world.

 I joined DMR just as BrandMeister was developing, and my first entry was via the short-lived DV4Mini stick. But it was interesting. Then I built the first of three repeaters.
