The other alternative to use in place of GMRS Radio is the Multi-Use Radio System, or
MURS. This is a VHF based frequency block of 5 channels around 152
mhz, which are available for personal or business use. Power output is limited to 2 watts and with
all other systems, the channels are shared.
Since MURS has only 5 channels available, vs. the 22 GMRS
channels, the demand for the radios is not as high as FRS/GMRS and therefore, the variety of brand
names of MURS radios is just a fraction of the GMRS radios offerings.
