Talk:Multi-Use Radio Service

Hello, my name is Stewart Teaze, and I'm the moderator of the MURS-OPEN online discussion group - I've been using MURS since just after its creation. I'm also an Amateur Radio operator (callsign N0MHS).

Tracking a signal from a SRM9020 Mobile Radio

I had a radio in my car and a base station setup at home with my wife. My car was broken into stolen and stripped of all my goodies now where i live is a small community, and i was wondering if there is a way that i can track down the person who has stolen my set as i have talked to them from by base station and they think that they can get away with stealing and then using my radio.

Now the person that stole and removed my handset must of known what they where doing as they took the leads off right back to the battery, they took the fuse couplings and all.

if you have information on a way that i could track this down please helpmy frequancys are between the below:

Frequency bands: Eo 66-88 Mhz AC 136-174 Mhz KM 208 - 245 Mhz R1 335 - 375 Mhz TK 400 - 450 Mhz UW 440 - 500 Mhz WR 470 - 530 Mhz

Thanks

Phil

If you know who is responsible, why not just notify your local police or sheriff? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.178.60.181 (talk) 17:32, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MotXV1100.jpg

Image:MotXV1100.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

question

The FCC says,

MURS stations may not be connected to the public telephone network, may not be used for store and forward operations, and radio repeaters are not permitted.

What about if somebody had their MURS radio connected to a broadband cable connection with the intention of offering free Internet service? Would that be legal? After all, cable is not part of the "public telephone network", is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.56.125 (talk) 03:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

As I understand the rules, yes that should be legal. However, with only 20khz of bandwidth authorized expect connection speeds around 9600bps (9.6kbps total, not per-user). For reference, dialup is 56kbps. TCP/IP would have a hard time being even usable at that speed. The data sending features of MURS are intended (and by bandwidth limitations, restricted to) small amounts of data. Think SMS or cellphone text messaging. --kf4yfd (talk) 10:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Walmart radios

Walmart seems to be switching to 900MHz Motorola radios. Many stores have switched away from MURS. 2600:1006:B329:EC90:3985:9C19:3302:BFF9 (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
