These three repeaters are normally linked and a DHE voter at Accomac
determines which incoming signal will be retransmitted.  Due to a scanning
delay in the remote receivers, fast turnover between stations will cause loss
of the first couple of words in your transmission, (hint) key up for a couple
of seconds prior to start of your conversation.
