I hear what seems to be EMS on MURS 151.820. It's my understanding you can use any MURS frequency, but would that maybe not be a good idea to disrupt this one? Why are they on there??

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.

If they are using properly type accepted radios, OR they have a grandfathered Part 90 license, totally legal.
Might be used for training. Might be a small private EMS provider using it for an event.
Probably not the best choice, though.

Years ago, our local PD was using Frs for a training op to clear a building. Pretty entertaining to listen to, until some kids started playing on the same frequency, then they went to a tac freq.

Maybe they were doing ems, for a outdoor event and using MURS, to prevent tying up their dispatch ? ... Just a guess.

If you post the location where you heard it maybe somebody could identify it instead of guessing.

It doesn't say what state or province.

he has a couple of posts in the Minnesota forum.
151.82 was never a licensable frequency for public safety or business. For Part 90 users, it was a "hole" between 151.805 and 151.835 in the original Part 91 business band allocations decades ago. I'm wondering if you're picking up an image frequency of a legally licensed frequency or if someone programmed 151.82 MHz in the EMS radios as a private BS channel. That stuff happens occasionally.
