Thinking about replacing my 10+ year old FRS handhelds and am looking at MURS. I'll be using them to communicate while hiking / walking trails (mostly in the Middlesex Fells,) and at the range to talk to the pits during practice. Seems like VHF's lack of a requirement for line of sight would make them good for hiking. Thoughts?
Also, can I buy any 2 watt VHF handheld and have it programed for MURS frequencies and be legal or does it have to specifically be marketed as a MURS handheld?
(To be clear, I have no HAM licenses or anything like that. I'd much rather avoid licensing issues if at all possible.)
