We just need to pad the value appropriately. What are the un-used
digits set to? 0xff or something?

I just checked. ANI requires a minimum of 3 digits. The unused digits are set to 0xff
The 15 PTT IDs can all be set to null and the unused digits are also set to 0xff

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have a few things that I want to do that depend on what I do here.

Thinking about it this morning, I am wondering if this could be done similarly to name (channel names) except using a charset that is limited to "0123456789".
