West coast of Florida the Wal Mart's use MURS # 4 154.570. It's used in their stores and the Wal Mart trucks apparently have the radios also as I hear store personnel calling on the air for the truck drivers to back into a particular loading ramp to be unloaded. MURS # 1 151.820 is used by automated alarms in this area also. I have no positively identified the users but sounds like some of the horse farms in the area. Frequently the automated message - "Alarm in area 1" and 2, 3, and area 4. Best I can tell so far is they are attached to farm gates, when a gate is open it is announced on MURS. Just recently I read some prepper groups are encouraging the use of MURS #1 as a universal prepper channel. Prepper Net Every Tuesday night at 8:30PM CST on 151.8200 Mzh Some folks have come together and chosen a frequency or channel that all preppers can use. They assume that you probably have a Baofeng or Wouxun type radio, or other radio capable of transmitting in the MURS band. We picked this frequency because you do not need a license. You do not need to be a ham radio operator. Just program 151.820 into your radio and label it as PREP. It is our intention to have as many members of our community as possible to use this frequency. Every Tuesday night at 9:30pm est just monitor that channel. At some point, after we get enough people, you may begin to actually have contacts on that channel. Perhaps you are going to travel and you may find preppers on that channel For what it's worth.
