MURS, the license-free band people forget

Each kit is one radio.

A good MURS radio, and MURS is the band people forget. It sits lower than FRS and GMRS: VHF around 151 to 154 MHz, versus UHF around 462 to 467 MHz, so the tradeoffs differ, and there is no license to transmit. The BTECH MURS-V2 runs 0.5 or 2 W, holds 200 channels with custom names, and receives NOAA weather and FM broadcast. It charges over USB-C, is rated IP54, and has an SMA antenna jack. Keep two on hand and you have a pair ready for comms.
