Anyone using MURS?



I can't find very many radios made for MURS.


</p>

Yeah, it sucks, all that is available are HT's. I have a pair of the Radio Shack 5 watt MURS mobiles that were on closeout a couple years back for like 20 bucks each. We run 151.940. I use a Discone for the Base and Radio Shack 5/8 wave 2 meter magmount cut for 151.940 on the vehicle. We get 10-15 miles base to mobile.



Probably the best way to go is get a VHF business band radio and reprogram it for MURS. I know, the legal eagles here won't like that idea, but nobody is rushing to produce type-accepted MURS bases or mobiles, so what is one to do? My FT-847 does MURS, too, sorry Jerry! <img src=http://www.wwdx.org/smilies/posticon40.gif ALT=":40">

Yeah I wish I had one of them mobiles. I will have to look on ebay.

the icom ic2100h works really well on MURS.

They have some MURS Radios.

I have a motorola radius that is VHF. It would need programed but it works. If anyone wants it let me know.

my icom 706MKIIG and T90A HT as well as my kenwood THF-6A HT works well for MURS..


however is very rare i hear anyone on them..

is too bad...because of the frequency it works on..
MURS works much better for simplex then frs or gmrs..

Later

Is Murs picking up anywhere?

It's picking up around here. Mostly among ham guys, though. If they had more radios available, I bet it would get going good.

The Ritron Jobcom radios will work on them but they are not what I call a very good handheld.
