About the MURS Radios category

Interested in the Multi Use Radios Service (MURS)? Want to learn more about it? Join in the discussions here!

Greetings Rick! By the way, I am researching per the MURA, and now it is referred to as MURS CB radio; my research shows that it used to be MURA in the mid 70s. Can you help me figure it out please? The reason being, I am making a reference to it in my write-up and would prefer that I get my facts correct.

Thank you!

Hi Eleanor, there may be some confusion regarding MURS. I believe MURA is a brand name for an SWR meter used with CB radios. It is not a CB radio. It is connected to a CB radio and used to measure SWR (standing Wave Ratio).

MURS stands for Multi Use Radio Service. It is a radio service that is not related to CB. MURS radios and CB radios are two different types of radios. Here are a couple of short videos that explain each type of radio.
