I know with GMRS, you need an FCC licence to legally operate in the GMRS channels, but with MURS, do you need the same?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Not so much GMRS, more MURS

The MURS frequencies are the former "dot" business band frequencies.
Red 151.625 MHz
Purple 151.955
Blue 154.570
Green 154.600
The Wikipedia entry is fairly concise.

The first two murs frequencies should be 151.8200 and 151.8800. The red and purple frequencies ARE NOT MURS and technically you need a license to use them. Although some businesses "forget"

The businesses on 154.570 and 154.600 can continue operating licence free with no protection from other MURS stations. Hear that wal-mart?

I hear walmart alot and i always try to wonder what their PL is
lol not like i would interfere but all my radios are on DPL codes so i know one of the schools are CSQ and it sucks for them if im near by with a group and we talk, they hear us but we dont hear them... maybe they should think about putting in a PL instead of being CSQ but they thought the entire county would run on MURS with CSQ and talk amongst each other when one principle reaches another school.. heck my middle school was next to me.Now speaking of murs, i found taco bell on 152.3000 but when im near mcdonalds, i should probably consider ordering my lunch half way their!

Our Walmart does not use coded squelch, so it's pretty easy to bug them.

Really? Do you think that any of these will spend their precious time listening to one of us?
