[arm-allstar] Multiple repeaters one node number

[Chris Souleles]

Thanks for the info. The reason I asked is because I was linked into a node that had multiple repeaters and was having a QSO and two other people came in over us and it appeared they didn’t hear us but we could hear them so I don’t know why this would happen. Chris - W6CS - 73.
