heard that the yaesu FT7800 with the mod can cover murs and the uhf part can cover gmrs frequencies, anyone ever use one of these radios???
Yes, I have.
Same radio.
When I bought it, it was "opened up", and the fellow I got it from had it programmed for a GMRS repeater that a local of his had.
I put it in my big truck after purchase and was able to "kerchunk" said repeater.
Close to the IN/IL line near Chicago, MURS is active. At a guess, some are CBers and I'll bet some are hams.
MURS has some traffic here by the IN/MI line, same mix.
Local WalMart operates on 151.820.
