I was looking to get some MURS radios for emergency communication with nearby friends incase of an emergency but I'm confused about how it's legally used.
I'm mainly asking because I noticed a relatively nearby fire department uses 151.820 for their "Tac 1" channel and no license number is listed on Radio Reference for it.
I was worried that if I get a few of these if I would be legally interfering with the FD by using MURS1 or if the FD are the ones doing something wrong because based on the few articles I read about MURS over at ITS and elsewhere it seems that MURS is meant for everybody and can't be utilized for "official purposes".
Or am I way off here?
Thank you.
