Answer: The new
MURS channels are:
- 151.820 MHz
- 151.880 MHz
- 151.940 MHz
- 154.570 MHz
- 154.600 MHz
Our 190-1206
and 190-1210 (mobile version) radios can easily be programmed for four of those
frequencies.
- Turn VOLUME fully counterclockwise
(transceiver OFF).
- Remove the battery door, but do not remove the battery
(battery must have some charge).
- Choose a preset frequency from the chart below and set the
encoder DIP switches to match the desired frequency.
- Turn the radio on and the new frequency is set.
- To set the second frequency in the 190-1210, flip the
frequency switch and repeat steps 1-4 above.
