I would venture to say a number of people have operated in an illegal manner, modes, power etc. a few times or routinely. I would hope they know the rules and understand the consequences if the FCC notices. At least they are smart enough, most of them anyway, not to publicly advocate or mention what they are doing, it sets a bad example for the newbies.

Good point.

Do you want our blessing using a business radio in digital mode on MURS without a business license (not that a license matters in that situation)?!? 

I could bring my Radioddity RD-5R to Albuquerque and join you! 

I was merely answering a use case for MURS. I cannot confirm or deny what rules I've bent, but if I had, probably wasn't with any blessings. haha

Perfectly legal for business use. No need to test boundaries. You will be inside them.

Yes, except they are DMR and running encryption.

I have a few RT81Vs that I need to get a business license for.  In the meantime, I could use MURS freqs to "test" them out. I include MURS on my scans and I NEVER hear anyone in my neighborhood so I'd probably be safe bending the rules, short-term.
