My radio is a Motorola 25 watt radio. It low power seting is 10 watts. I have it hooked up to a Diamond X300A that i moded to tune for MURS and I get about 30 miles out of it on high power. Antenna is only 30' off the ground as well. 2 Meter radios are cheaper though in the long run than anything comercial. I also have my Yaesu FT2800M moded for MURS and for the price of $140 New its hard to beat. Very easy to mod as well.

Go to yahoo forums and get on MURS forum and ask for a rs 19-2510 some usually appear, program it it has 5 chnls, and 5 watts...buy an antenna from ARROW ANTENNAS a yagi if you want distance or a j pole, all same price $39 plus s/h, , I put up a j pole and talking to some people at 35 miles, the other day a bit of skip hit 50 miles for a few minutes..

Could someone conceivably use one of those Chinese exports to transmit in the MURS range? It's my understanding (and I could be wrong about this), that they can transmit thru their entire frequency range of 136-174MHz.

As an afterthought, do MURS radios use any kind of PL tone? I have picked up MURS transmissions on my scanner before, but it's a rather bare bones model and has no way of decoding/showing the PL tone.

You can set a pl tone in them, myself I dont. You live in chicago, there is a bunch at one time who get on I believe 94 frequency of MURS after 11 at night and ragchew.
