MURS stand for Multi Use Radio System. It consists of five new channels of frequencies that have been assigned for both business as well as personal use. The system is perfect in case you are looking to communicate over a distance ranging in several hundred feet or in case there is a concrete or metal structure blocking the communication signals. The great thing related to MURS two-way radio devices is that all options can communicate with each other and you can mix them as per your will. Another important point to understand here is that these devices are not sold in pairs and thus in order to start communicating; you would need to purchase at least two units.
In the market, you can find two different options in terms of audio quality and features offered in both handhelds and intercoms. The commercial ones cost a little more; however, they have better built quality and are more durable. The battery life is also better when compared to the personal ones. There are options that allow you to control the opening and closing of the gate of your home remotely.
The two-way service consists of five frequencies in the very high frequency or VHF spectrum. A great point to note here is that you do not need a FCC license to use the MURS two-way radios. Each one of the five channels has 38 sub channels or “quiet codes.” This way you would only be hearing the voices from the radios operating on the same channel and sub channel. In addition, the competition in the airways is quite less simply because MURS frequencies are not highly used in most areas.
In case there is no obstruction in the line of communication, you can get a range of around four miles when it comes to MURS two-way radio. In case you wish to add on to the same, you can always install an antenna on the top of the house or building.
The additional options that you can get include
– Hand held two way radios
– Outdoor intercoms/ Callboxes
– Commercial-duty base station
– Motion detectors
– Wireless PA systems also work well with the MURS system.
The MURS system also comes in handy for the retail businesses that serve the customers directly. All you need to do is press a button and the message can be sent to the customer care – a simple and easy way to call for assistance.
The system is easy to install and use and is certainly a great option to consider.
