Choosing an External MURS Antenna For Your MURS Radios

If you are using a base station intercom, a wireless callbox, or some other MURS device that has a removable antenna with a BNC connector, then we have three different antenna options for you should you need to boost range:

MURS Vertical Outdoor Model Antenna
Use this antenna if you can mount one on the top of your building. Can be used in areas with high wind and salty air.

MURS Base Outdoor Antenna
Use this antenna if you can mount one on the top of your building.

Magnetic Mount Antenna with 25 Feet of Coax Cable
This antenna is designed for vehicle-mounted applications, but if you have a metal building you could improve the performance of your MURS system by simply sticking this on top of your building. This could also be used indoors for extending the range of the MURS Wireless PA system.

Antenna Cable

If you choose an outside antenna, you will likely have to purchase cable. As far as the cable you run to the antenna you should try to find RG-8. It is a high quality 50 ohm cable that matches the impedance of the antennas. However, you won't likely find that in your local building supply store. But, if you aren't running more than 50 feet of it you could likely get away with running RG-6, which is a 75 ohm cable. You can find that at the building supply stores and it will not likely affect your performance that much.
