Tell that "local ham store" to verify that ham gear can be modified for MURS use. They might be surprised...

They talked to the moon with 1.5 watts.

At VHF, its all about LINE OF SIGHT! More watts help for sure and YES, you CAN hook up an antenna to that radio (for the second time).

Default MURS RADIO

I have a radio shack business radio that you can program on MURS, but have never talked to anyone, even a bit more power and no one. It is a dead area around here..You can use a two meter radio if it is converted to MARS operations..
