Did MURS ever catch on?

It hasn't so far (at least around my area).

I would still hope that MURS catches on, since you can use higher power on
those freqs than you can on FRS, and you can also use different antennas
than the "stock" ones.

I would imagine that a big part of the paucity of MURS use is due to a
relative lack of available radios and dealers who sell them. I recall doing
a search for MURS radios about 6 months ago, and I think I fould like two
online dealers who actually carry these radios. I see no advertising for
them, either. They are also much more expensive than FRS "bubble pack"
radios. Seems like only radio/scanner/amateur radio aficionados have a clue
as to what MURS is.
