MURS frequency uses

[arlojanis]

Is it legal for a large business to use MURS frequencies for daily operations? Radios will be 2 watts and all portable.

If the radios meet all specs for MURS use, it looks like they could be ok. They would not have sole use of a frequency, and they would have to put up with any co-channel users, like someone who wants to sit outside their location and talk on that frequency as well.

I'd say it's a bad idea, and usually the cheap-ass way of doing things.

Here are some of the rules....

Yes. It's perfectly legal for business or anyone else.

In a nutshell, if your business chooses to use MURS (Multi Use Radio Service), then you should use type accepted radios. They must not exceed 2 watts, and the five channels are shared.

MURS is actually an excellent choice for large car lots, large department stores, industrial facilities, warehouses, or any other application that might require reliable communications within a 90-100 acre area (in reality, usually a lot more than that).

This is bordering on too OT, and since the question's essentially been answered, we'll close this thread.
