The challenge with MURS and base stations is that MURS is limited to 2 watts, no exceptions. There are not many 2 watt mobile radios that have the necessary FCC type certification.
If you want to follow the rules for MURS, then you must stick inside those limitations. If you don't care about rules, there are options.
But let's stick with the legal MURS stuff, just for the sake of argument.
There are multiple models of these two radios. Make sure you get the MURS version:
The PBS Series Ritron Wireless Intercom/Base Station is a cost-effective, AC powered, fixed location 2-way radio or wireless intercom. Ideal for use with portable radios, the Ritron wireless PA system, radio callboxes and in systems using portable 2-way radios; it can even be programmed to work...

Those will do what you want.
But if you really want to make these sing, you need to put up a good base station antenna and feed it with appropriate coaxial cable. There are height limitations on the antenna, so make sure you keep that in mind:
§95.2741 MURS antenna height limit.
The highest point of any MURS station antenna must not be more than 18.3 meters (60 feet) above the ground or 6.10 meters (20 feet) above the highest point of the structure on which it is mounted. MURS station antennas must also meet the requirements in §95.317 regarding menaces to air navigation. See 47 CFR 95.317 and consult part 17 of the FCC's Rules for more information (47 CFR part 17).
But that gives you a lot of options. Simply getting a good VHF base antenna outside and in the clear will make a huge difference. Don't get hung up on transmitter power output, it doesn't make as much difference to range as people will tell you.
There are other options, but they rely on -old- radios that will be difficult to find and even more difficult to program. There were some old Motorola MaxTrac 2 watt VHF mobile radios that met the 'grandfathered' requirements and would be legal to use on MURS. However, they were few and far between when new, and what few were out there were gobbled up by people who knew what they were.
There was also an old Radio Shack 'business band' mobile radio that was sold for a few years that met the requirements, but again, those were snatched up quickly.
