Well, the idea for emergencies is not so much the MURS as the police frequencies. Thanks for your opinion. Man, I'd stay away from that for sure. Messing around with the police radio frequencies won't go over well and is sure to get you noticed. Calling 911 is going to be more helpful in the face of a true emergency, messing with a police repeater is only going to get folks confused and delay getting you and others help. In theory, you might be legal, but in practice you'd better be *sure* there is a true emergency because you are surely going to have to explain it to somebody. Don't do it... If you are thinking "what about when the phones are down and I cannot call 911?" then I'd say that disrupting the police for your own "emergency" is even more problematic because there are likely many folks in danger and your transmissions will only disrupt the whole process. Get an old cell phone and a car charger for it. Any cell phone that has been "activated" sometime in the past can make calls to 911, even if it has no service. Failing that, get out the repeater directory and start calling on the nearest repeater you can hit. -= Bob =- |
