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">

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..
