| I had to find a manual...
Yes, the 2 channel model has 2 of the MURS frequencies
The 8 channel model has the 5 MURS freqs plus other
licensed frequencies on it.
The other frequencies are licensed so you'd have to be careful
about those in non-emergency situations.
(Businesses lease those frequencies and tend to get upset
when someone is using them without authorization)
Another radio you should consider is the Radio Shack 19-1210.
There's one on ebay right now, they're a 5 channel mobile radio and
all 5 of them are the MURS freqs.
They're discontinued but I've seen them for sale often on ebay
for under 100 dollars.
No matter which radio and frequency you use, be sure to
listen for a couple days to be sure that the frequency is not
in use by local gov't or business.
Some of the MURS freqs are still in use by their original users
and they were grandfathered-in when MURS was adopted.
These users have the "right of way" on their frequencies.
i.e. A local Fire Dept is still using on of the MURS freqs in my area.
You definitely do not want to "talk over" or interfere with a fire department dispatch! |
