Yeah, it sucks, all that is available are HT's. I have a pair of the Radio Shack 5 watt MURS mobiles that were on closeout a couple years back for like 20 bucks each. We run 151.940. I use a Discone for the Base and Radio Shack 5/8 wave 2 meter magmount cut for 151.940 on the vehicle. We get 10-15 miles base to mobile.
Probably the best way to go is get a VHF business band radio and reprogram it for MURS. I know, the legal eagles here won't like that idea, but nobody is rushing to produce type-accepted MURS bases or mobiles, so what is one to do? My FT-847 does MURS, too, sorry Jerry! <img src=http://www.wwdx.org/smilies/posticon40.gif ALT=":40">
