Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is an unlicensed two-way radio service similar to Citizens Band (CB). These radios may have a maximum legal output of 2 watts. The highest point of any MURS antenna must not be more than 18.3 meters (60 feet) above the ground or 6.10 meters (20.0 feet) above the highest point of the structure to which it is mounted, whichever is higher. It is short distance voice and data service for use by the general public for personal and business communications.
- FCC License: No
- Max Output: 2 watts
- Frequency: 2 meter
MURS comprises the following five frequencies:
Channel Frequency Authorized bandwidth Channel Name 1 151.820 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A 2 151.880 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A 3 151.940 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A 4 154.570 MHz 20.00 kHz Blue Dot 5 154.600 MHz 20.00 kHz Green Dot
MURS range will vary depending on antenna size and placement. With an external antenna, ranges of 10 miles or more can be expected.
The two channels in the 154Mhz range can be operated in wide band 25khz while the first three are restricted to narrow band 12.5khz only.
