This MURS Commercial Intercom communicates on
all 5 channels of the MURS frequencies. MURS is short for Multi-Use
Radio Service and is a newly created service by the FCC in the
United States. It is a low power, short range service in the VHF
(Very High Frequency) 150 MHz Citizens Band radio spectrum in which
you do not need a license to operate a MURS station.
The MURS Commercial Intercom has a small, rugged
metal case and is designed for industrial applications. It is
desk or wall-mountable with an optional wall-mount bracket, and has a range of up to 2 miles line of
sight.
See the applications and other products available for MURS in the
MURS Product Brochure (requires the free Adobe PDF Reader to view and print).

"We purchased the MURS 4 Mile Range and MURS
Commercial Intercoms because one of our Preschool classrooms
is far removed from the office – there was no way of
communicating electronically/ rapidly which is of special
concern in case of emergency. We decided to purchase the
outdoor Callbox XT to put out on our playground.
The classroom piece of the intercom has
saved much frustration and time simply by eliminating the
need for a staff member to either leave her classroom to
walk to the office or vice versa. Our office staff (one of
whom is handicapped) LOVES them because they don’t have to
get up and down repeatedly to deliver messages/ gather
information, etcetera. It’s all done through the new
intercoms. They provide peace of mind in case there is an
emergency." -- Stephanie

This intercom also works with the
MURS Callbox
Outdoor Intercom and it can send a signal to the Callbox to
unlock a gate or activate some other electrical device.
If you want to add a louder external speaker,
you can plug an optional one into the speaker jack. You can also
plug in an optional external microphone. If you want to use a
headset, there is an optional headset that plugs into both the
speaker and microphone jacks.
The MURS Commercial Intercom includes an AC
adapter for wall power, plus you have the option of powering it
from a 12 volt DC car adapter.
The MURS Commercial Intercom also has a built-in
NOAA Weather Radio feature so it can receive NOAA weather radio
broadcasts or National Weather Services alerts for threatening
weather. These features can be turned off or on via field
programming.
See Figure 1 below for a description of the
intercom controls and connectors. This unit can also be used in a vehicle by adding the 12 Volt DC Adapter below and a magnetic mount antenna.
If you are already using two-way radios, this
intercom can also be field-programmed to other VHF frequencies
to match those radios. If you are using UHF radios contact us
because we can offer you this same intercom in UHF at the same
price.

This unit comes preprogrammed with the five MURS channels all
set with an Interference Eliminator code of 01 which matches our
other MURS Radios. Unless you need other features activated, you
should not have to program this unit but it is field
programmable.
