| I don't know much, but I believe MURS is a better option than FRS in congested areas, just because of less use. The 5 watt cap is actual power, not radiated power. This allows you to use a good base antenna to extend range, although that won't help mobile to mobile range, just mobile to base. I've been out of the radio game for quite a while.
Looking at HAM bands near the same frequencies will probably be your best bet for getting antenna ideas. I believe MURS are at 151 Mhz. You would probably be fine with a standard HAM 2-meter (144-148 MHz) antenna. |
