| − | MURS range will vary depending on antenna size and placement. With an external antenna, ranges of 10 miles or more can be expected however full [[Radio_Propagation|line-of-sight propagation]] is usually not possible due to the relatively low power restriction of 2 watts and even with proper equipment 10 mile ranges are generally not possible. In general use with hand held radios that do not use additional external antennas MURS radios, base stations and [[motion detectors]] have typical [[walkie talkie]] ranges of about 1-2 miles. If you are going to rely on MURS equipment it should like all equipment be tested on the ground prior to any disaster or emergency use. | + | MURS range will vary depending on antenna size and placement.
