==Products== There are a wide variety of radio products that use MURS frequencies. MURS devices include wireless base station intercoms, handheld two-way radios, wireless dog training collars, wireless public address units, customer service callboxes, wireless remote switches, and wireless callboxes with or without gate opening ability. Since MURS uses standard frequencies, most devices that use MURS are compatible with each other. Most analog two-way radios utilize a technology called [[Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System|CTCSS]] or [[Squelch#DCS|DCS]] that helps block out unwanted transmissions. To make MURS two-way radios work together, they must have matching [[Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System|CTCSS]] or [[Squelch#DCS|DCS]] tones. This can usually be done via basic programming which almost all MURS two-way radios support. The [[goTenna]], a digital radio product, operates on the MURS band and pairs with [[smartphone]]s to enable users to send texts and share locations on a [[peer-to-peer]] basis. goTenna is not interoperable with other MURS devices, even though they operate on the same spectrum, employing "listen-before-talk" to reduce interference in the band's five channels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8058473|website=news.ycombinator.com| title=Hacker News β goTenna | access-date=3 November 2015}}</ref><ref name=CNET>{{cite web|last1=Statt|first1=Nick|title=GoTenna creates a cell network out of thin air anywhere on Earth|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/gotenna-creates-cββell-network-out-of-thin-air-anywhere-on-earth/|website=CNET|publisher=CBS Interactive|access-date=3 November 2015}}</ref><ref name="Network World">{{cite web|last=Nelson|first=Patrick|title=Device lets smartphones communicate during network outage|url=https://www.networkworld.com/article/934550/outage-device-lets-smartphones-communicate.html|website=Network World|date=16 January 2015|access-date=3 November 2015}}</ref>
