Use With Other MURS Devices
This radio is fully compatible with all our MURS products and features dual push-to-talk (PTT) buttons, allowing you to monitor and communicate on two channels simultaneously. This is especially useful if you frequently interact with two separate groups.
The dual PTT functionality pairs seamlessly with our MURS Wireless PA unit. For example, you can set Channel 1 to broadcast emergency messages over the PA system, while Channel 2 is reserved for direct communication with other radios. Switching between channels is simple—just press the upper or lower button to transmit to the desired device. Prefer a simpler setup? Both buttons can be programmed to access the same channel. The radio also has a built-in emergency alarm siren that can be broadcast over a wireless PA or to other radios.
Additionally, the radio offers a channel scan feature to monitor all programmed frequencies.
Please note: this radio does not natively activate the gate relay in our MURS callboxes. However, the green and black Compact Callbox with gate relay can leverage this radio’s DTMF capability to perform that function. Field programming of the callboxes is required to enable this feature.
Multi-Channel Capability
The default configuration includes 15 pre-programmed MURS channels (001-015), which can be modified, removed, or rearranged as needed. While the MURS standard technically supports only five unique frequencies, these can be paired with CTCSS codes to simulate 15 distinct channels. A receiving radio will only activate its speaker if it detects the matching CTCSS code, providing a layer of selective communication. For example, if you’re using Frequency 1 with two different CTCSS codes, you could configure two separate MURS devices on the same channel, but only the device with the matching code would respond. However, if two devices transmit on the same frequency simultaneously, their signals will overlap, potentially causing interference.
This feature allows you to receive calls from up to 15 wireless call boxes operating on the 5 MURS frequencies. For instance, in a gas station setting, each fuel pump can be uniquely identified when making a call, or you can initiate a call to a specific pump individually.
