- People have been asking me to review a set of MURS (Multi-Use-Radio) radios. Well, here they are! These have the advantage of using extended range extended antenna. I am pretty happy with them.

Always great videos! 👍
Being able to use detachable antennas is a nice plus over FRS.
That’s really good reception and clarity for 2 watts
Always love your content.
Hello from West of Seattle, Washington!
MURS is the forgotten radio band. In certain circumstances, VHF radio is better than UHF, especially in the woods. As a matter of fact, in Oregon, for search and rescue we use the 155mhz band. When we have crappy reception we'll set someone up in a high location as a manual repeater. It works well.
Great review, Eric. I think you're going to be happy with the VHF in the wooded area of your farm. Just another radio to have at your disposal...
I always forget to give my callsign... WRJA 757.
73's!
No callsigns on MURS, you must be thinking GMRS.

Great review
Good video ❗️
Nice video and good info The rooster came through clearly and with gusto ! If you do a spring box video , make sure you include the spring lizards :)
Good review. I like that you left the receiving radio outdoors, and walked rather than confined your transmissions in a vehicle. Could you in further tests give us a look at 1/2 mile and 1 mile on the MURS frequencies.
They sound great work great too 👍
Wow! They have good audio I can hear the Rooster quite well LOL!
Always love your videos. Devin bellville, ohio
Sounds pretty good at 1/4 mile.
FRS now allows 2 watts as well
True test is eavesdropping on walmart instore radios.
Yes, and it's also fun asking for a clean up on isle J7 !🤣
True purpose of a MURS radio right there
I somehow don't think the FCC anticipated that Walmart would be so friggin cheap as to take advantage of MURS, and FRS when you consider that they can well afford to pay for their own private business frequencies... And Walmart has had the nerve to tell people like us to get off THEIR channels. Retevis makes some very good radios... But they come up short on the programing. If Cobra, Icom, Midland... can design their radios to at least be able to manually change the CTCSS/DCS tones without the need of a PC, why can't Retevis.
@@baronedipiemonte3990 My assumption is Walmart radios are encoded. One has to be inside the store to cause trouble or to have them cause trouble to third parties. Beats PA paging of years gone by.
@@baronedipiemonte3990 I'd safely say that "Retevis" purchases the radios from some other manufacturer and puts their brand on it. I couldn't imagine "Retevis" having their own ability to manufacture these radios themselves.
Basic Info for MURS. Channels 1-3 are Narrow band (11.25kHz), and 4-5 are Wide band (20.00kHz). Max 2 watts all channels. A true "short range" simplex radio (used by Walmart incidentally), non-repeater capable (unless you survive the grandfathered clause since the rule change). Its old school, and pretty quiet in most areas.
Good morning Erik It would be good to see about your spring box system I'm always interested in things that are related to water
I have a BTech MURS radio, and I gave my dad a Retevis, and we can talk between my front yard and his (which is a half a mile apart in the woods). One day I wanna test the range on a straight road.
hey, bro! I am very surprised that the link at the bottom of your video is available. Later I will get a set of MURS walkie-talkies of the same model and look forward to their use.
Nice😀
i just got the Retevis RB38v MURS in my neighborhood its a wood area i walked about 1050ft away from house it was clear radio to radio but we went to a train museum and it was out outside and we could even pick up a signal unless we was less then 20 ft from each other maybe it was all the metal from the trains
Check to see that your radios are operating on the same CTCSS code. Better, turn the CTCSS off.
Hey Eric,
I have some off brand walkie talkies that look identical to those. My subdivision is on top of a hill. They can reach a little over 5mi. Funny thing is they go a bit farther than my cb's.
They are going run you out of the CB brotherhood. Only way is get back into good graces is to mount your CB on a lawn mower and shoot video showing you talking into the next county with a 102 whip. Surgesting that MURS can outdo CB makes you a radio airitic. Remember CB is for DXing.
Great video as always they are really great little walkie talkies they work really well how do you think these walkie talkies would work in the suburbs or city could you get 2 miles in the city and suburbs ?
With the long antennas, yes. But you might be at the edge of your range.
My Retevis MURS radios look just like that but the antenna is fixed. I took one of them apart and installed a BNC connector where the antenna had been. Trying to use a rubber duck or a magnetic antenna on the car top didn't work well. It was much worse than the original rubber duck. With the original rubber duck we can talk car to car on the interstate almost 1/4 mile.
Relax No license required for MURS
Relax? Who cares if one was required? FCC is a paper tiger. When they put a stop to telemarketers, I'll start worrying about my gmrs radio transmissions.
There' no value to this test without the stock antenna. Those sectional antennas get wonky. Especially for transmitting.
I'll have to disagree.
Links didn't work just got an Echo dot one of those spy things that listens to everything you say.
Links are to the Echo spy device not the radios.
Thanks Eric. Just letting you know the links don't work.
thanks, I will look into correcting that
What would be a good setup for a range of 150 miles
GMRS or Ham radio on a repeater
A cell phone LoL
MURS VHF is dead all the time absolutely no traffic on it whatsoever in southeastern Wisconsin at least so the only thing I really hear are these annoying data bursts whatever they are I don't know if it's Doppler or what it is but it seems to be intermittent like it's going clockwise Innoway sounding that means it's got to be some type of Doppler running or some thing I have no idea but it's annoying hearing all those data breasts when trying to listen for any traffic but I've given up scanning those MURS frequencies
Good. Mind your own business.
Why only 2w when you can run 5w on MURS?
nope
@@forgetyourlife I once drove 75 mph in a 70. Nobody died, this time....
@@SHlTHEADJOE if someone had died, i probably wouldn’t be hearing from you.
@@forgetyourlife I live in Dallas. Unless it was me that died, you'd still hear from me.
You can buy 10 watt VHF radio's, too. I bet they work. A UV5R might push 5 watts.
Info: use a counterpoise 16 inch piece of wire hanging down now you have a dipole with a long range just unscrew the antenna wrap the wire around it and now your antenna will cover a lot more range. Its called a counter poise ease piece of wire and it makes a difference.
he don't want no wire hanging down when he's on the farm working
Can someone explain MURS. I'm not familiar with it. I have a few FRS and GMRS.
MURS is defined as Multi Use Radio Service by FCC. There are five 150 MHZ frequencies that are designated for use. These radios do not require a license and can be used by anyone. They radios are limited to 2 watts.
@@hoosierman706 ok thanx
@@poppasmurf63 "business band"
Murs is basically vhf cb. Its the old color dot business frequencies. Works great, penetrates great in dense woods.
Hey man that link is not working .
Yeah, just tried it myself and all I get is an ad for an Alexa thing.
WTF IS TEH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RB RV RT ... WHICH IS BEST?
SHEESH CRAZY COMPANY !
I couldn't say what one is best, but I agree, they almost have too many models to choose from.
The differences between models are mostly size, battery capacity and the IP rating(water dust resistance). For example, the RT47V's that I own are IP67 rated for water/dust but must be charged in a dock. The RB17V's have a much larger battery that can be directly charged with a USB-C cable but are not IP rated. They are all 5 channels with the same 2w output.
Personal opinion, out of the Retevis MURS offerings, I'm sticking with the RT47V's for their durability. We regularly used them on the family hunting property and while riding ATV's. They've gotten dunked, dropped and have generally taken a beating with only 1 failing after being run over by a near 800lb quad.
