Is my MURS radio an unlicensed Part 15 “intentional radiator” like a cordless phone?
No. It is a radio station in the Citizens Band Radio Service, “authorized by rule” (rather than by license) under the Communications Act. Unlike Part 15 intentional radiators, MURS users are subject to operator rules. MURS radios must be manufactured to meet, and must be operated to comply with, the technical standards found in Part 95. MURS radios must be certificated (FCC approved) in accordance with 95.603 of the FCC Rules. Radios that were certificated for MURS use under the Business Radio Service rules (90.203) prior to the date of implementation of the new MURS rules (November 12, 2002) may also be used, even if they were manufactured or first used after that date.
