Field notes
The public branch-office demo lets a visitor choose among named New York-area branches, then use a hold-to-transmit control; releasing the key returns it to listening. A branch shares one channel, and cross-branch delivery depends on child relay operators being present to copy and retransmit messages. The listed starter kit contains one key, local-branch access, and a Morse code reference sheet; the page lists $99 for one and $179 for a pair.
