The Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is a small two-way radio service consisting of five frequencies in the VHF spectrum. Established by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in the fall of 2000, MURS created a radio service allowing for unlicensed operation, with a power limit of 2 watts, four times that of FRS radio. In the fall of 2002, the FCC further amended the MURS rules; these rule modifications included changing the 2 watt transmitter power limitation to be based on Transmitter Power Output (TPO), rather than Effective Radiated Power (ERP), so there is no longer an ERP limit with MURS, and external gain antennas may be utilized. The FCC formally defines MURS as "a private, two-way, short-distance voice or data communications service for personal or business activities of the general public."
MURS comprises the following five frequencies
- 151.820 MHz
- 151.880 MHz
- 151.940 MHz
- 154.570 MHz (also part of the business band)
- 154.600 MHz (also part of the business band)
