Thanks for the information Eric, Got the radios programmed for 2W and the narrow band and they work great! Like to stay within the rules for radios as I value my license.

There are five simplex MURS channels: 151.820, 151.880, 151.940, 154.570, and 154.600 MHz. The first three are narrow-band 11.25 kHz channels, while the latter two are 20 kHz channels. All are limited to two watts. My local ARES group uses 16-channel Motorola HT750 radios that were donated by the local police department. We programmed the two 154 MHz MURS channels into all radios, along with 14 2m Amateur channels. Since the MURS is license-free, we use one of the 154 MHz channels for parades and other events where non-Hams need to communicate with us. Nice and legal... 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve S.

Don't know about type acceptance, etc, but seems like if they are narrow band (and if that is indeed the case) then the 260 should work great - lots of folks illegally prm 151.625 and use them anyhow. 73, Steve NU5D Yahoo!
