Radio Shack 19-1210 VHF Business-Band Mobile two-way radio to MURS.

https://www.mark-rodgers.com/MURS/191210mobile.html   To get on MURS, back in 2003, myself, and several friends, went and bought-out these rigs from local Radio Shack stores. Average price was dropped to around $40.00 each, but some stores unloaded these at $20.00. To permissively get on the new VHF 5-Channel MURS Band, at the time, they were perfect. (Albeit, they were only 2-Channel capable radios.) Also, is INFO on the BTX-127 VHF HT, to MURS. Still, very viable INFO to have and know, while these sites are still up. Oh BTW, if you want a perfect VHF mobile / base rig that barely sips power consumption from 12VDC batteries, and could stay ON for days of operation, these radios are very ideal for that and draw less current than many HT's and most 27MHz CB's. Nice to have, if you are some place running alternative power.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
