People will always see things as they want to, it's human nature. Multiple
key systems would be difficult over the radio. I suggest a three state peg

significant. BTW You need a separate receiver for each channel to make the
interface easy.  Id all transmissions. Nothing like putting folks on record.
In ten years the tapes will be solid gold.
