When you have a business you may want to have certain internal conveniences depending on how large the building your business is in. Sometimes even residential buildings and homes need something to make communication convenient. One of these conveniences is the use of a two way radio in the building, however most two way radios require a FCC license.
There is a way around this with MURS radio. This multi use radio technology is a private two way radio
communication open to the public for private use. Multi use radio service has only been in use for a
little over ten years now. The FFC had changed their rules about the use of certain frequencies. The way this two way communication works is through the use of small hand held devices which are like walkie-talkies or even cell phones. Below you will find a short list which can function as a MURS technology guide for your benefit of understanding the importance of this two way communication.
Two way communications allows for you to be able to reach people across short distances that may be either in the same building or on the same grounds. It’s a lot easier than a public announcement system or even loud speakers which never sound clear to begin with. If you are in Canada you have a much wider selection of radio frequencies you can use. However they say that in a few situations, the
receivers can cause interference.
You can operate your MURS device in a place where the FCC is in control of frequency regulation. The
rules state you can only transmit on a frequency which has been approved and regulated by the FCC. One of the benefits is you do not need to use a call sign designation to identify your radio frequency. However your handheld device must be approved by the FCC ad there is no exception to this at all.
Another thing to remember is that one of the MURS channels are set for exclusive use of any system. This means you need to cooperate within the use of the channels in order to use your own channel and
share it with others. This will then reduce the chances of possible interference.
MURS stations are forbidden to operate as a signal booster, so there is also no store and forward packet operation to be involved when you use your own MURS frequency.
Of course this isn’t everything involved with the use of MURS signals and frequencies but consider this a small MURS technology guide.
