Radio Guidance - A WW2 Era Walkie-Talkie!

Guys I’m not interested in experimenting, in fact I’m looking to avoid doing that hence I’m asking the questions up front.

I’m looking for an off the shelf radio that I can stick in a box, disconnect the antenna, hook up a piece of coax run it to the outside of the case and mount an antenna. Then do the same with a PTT mic by disguising it. Nothing more.

Not sure how I gave the impression that I wanted to build a radio, maybe it was because Jeff modified the title.

Back to the question on MURS

I’m looking at one more option on this and that would be to program a decent ICOM for MURS.

* No license
* Close to the original freq used, antenna length is not an issue
* Could perform better with foliage VHF
* Use in rural area, not much chance of interference with other units
* Could use radios for other options if licensed

I’m guessing all the bells and whistles can be applied to the MURS channels? Software setup can adjust output power? At one time MURS editions were on the market

Thoughts?

OK… hate when then that happens. You need a radio that is FCC Type accepted for MURS. If you find one, then hook it up to an antenna and off you go.

Sorry for any confusion here. I will edit the title.

At the moment I do not think we have a MURS capable radio. I will ask around here though. MURS radios are getting very hard to find for the general public.

Ok, I have been sworn to secrecy, but I can let this slip. In a few weeks we may have some very interesting news about MURS. I cannot go into specifics because there are details being worked out.

Some commercial radios are Type-Accepted for MURS… the same way many Commercial radios are type-accepted for GMRS. Radios can be accepted for more than one service. Yuo just need to do a lot of research. It can be confusing.

This is why we may have something in the works. Cannot say more.

We will just wait patiently
