Selecting a Channel
When you power on your KG-1000M for the first time, the display will likely show
“MURS-01” on the left side. MURS-01 is the name of the currently selected chan-
nel. Turn the Frequency / Channel Knob on the right side of the display to navigate
through the list of channels.
As a license-free MURS user you are allowed to use any of the channels. The channel
you choose isn’t as important as making sure it’s the same channel the rest of your group
is using. Be sure the channel you select is also supported by the equipment everyone else
in your group is using.
The rules for MURS are the same for all channels, with one exception concerning band-
width. MURS channels can be broken up into 2 groups, with the following difference:
▪
Channels 1-2 support 20.00 kHz wideband and 11.25 kHz narrowband operation.
▪
Channels 3-5 are limited to a maximum 11.25 kHz narrowband operation.
