I really didn't know where to ask but I do volunteer work with a local cat rescue program. Part of it is trapping feral cats to be vaccinated, fixed & released.
Anyway since I often have to monitor several traps from a distance I have been putting my UV5Rs on a MURS channel low power with VOX at lowest (1) and roger beep (or PTT-ID) near trap so when a cat sets it I get tones. I know I'm not supposed to use my UV5Rs on FRS/GMRS but am I OK on MURS? Sam's Club uses Ch 1 so I avoid that.
I'm also a ham so not sure if it could be used in that way on 2m or 70cm. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to though.-justin
