We continue to get questions about MURS radios. Frankly, we are not surprised with the amount of information floating around on the forums and even manufacturers who present their material in such a way as to imply that a non-certified product can be used on MURS frequencies.
Let's try again to clarify the situation. If a radio is Type Accepted by the FCC for Part 95 operation or if the radio was approved under FCC Part 90 prior to November 12, 2002, it can be used on the MURS channels IF the power does not exceed 2 watts and it is operated only in the narrow band mode. The public safety and business band radios approved for FCC Part 90 currently being produced by Hytera, ICOM, Kenwood, and Motorola (with the exception of the RDM2020 and RDM2080D) can NOT be used on MURS channels.
There are several notable exceptions. The Ritron JMX-141D and 146D CAN be used on MURS frequencies. They do meet the requirements of FCC Part 95. The price of the JMX-141D is only $199. It is supplied by Falcon Direct with all five MURS channels installed, as well as all NOAA weather channels, and up to five business or public safety channels.
You can purchase the JMX-141D on line at our web store by clicking here, or if you need additional information, click here. If you have been looking for a top quality FCC approved MURS radio, your search is OVER!
