MURS Wireless Intercoms
Multi-Use Radio Service intercom. Works on long-range, license-free wireless communication system
MURS wireless intercoms give a fuel site two-way communication with no FCC license, no callsign and no renewal. The Multi-Use Radio Service is five VHF channels the FCC set aside for license-free personal and business use, so a certified system can be switched on the day it arrives. Allied Electronics stocks complete MURS intercom kits, weatherproof outdoor units and single add-on stations for forecourts, travel plazas, car washes and c-stores.
Because MURS is wireless, a call box goes onto a pump island without trenching the forecourt, running conduit through a classified area or closing lanes. That makes it the fastest route to customer-to-console communication on an existing site, and the simplest way to cover a car wash bay, an air and vacuum island or a back lot that no cable reaches.

Because every unit runs on the same five shared channels, the range mixes freely. Start with a kit at the console and the pump islands, then add single stations as the site grows. Set one channel and one CTCSS or DCS tone code across every unit so staff hear each other and not the unrelated traffic that shares the band.
The Five MURS Channels
All five channels are shared. Transmitter power output is capped at 2 watts and repeaters, signal boosters and telephone network interconnection are prohibited, which is what keeps the service license-free. Antenna gain is not capped, so an external antenna is the way to extend range, within the FCC limit of 60 feet above ground or 20 feet above the structure it is mounted on.
Do You Need a License for MURS?
No. MURS is authorized by rule under Part 95 of the FCC rules, so there is no application to file, no callsign to transmit and no renewal. Any person or business may operate a certified MURS intercom. The one hard requirement is certification: the equipment must hold an FCC grant of certification for MURS and carry the manufacturer label, which every unit in this range does. For the full breakdown of the channels, the FCC rules and where each device type fits on a site, see the MURS radio guide.
