Another possibility is that some of the remote stations are being
gated to local RF without messaging.  That is sometimes done to keep
track of people who are traveling, and sometimes done so that local
people can keep track of friends who live elsewhere.  In general this
isn't done a lot.  Any given igate operator can choose to gate
specific calls through to RF though.
