Where security and communication are paramount, the MURS HT Kit, featuring a MAT Alert Transmitter and a M538-HT 2-Way Handheld Radio, stands as a reliable and high-tech solution. This comprehensive kit, crafted by the reputable Dakota Alert brand, is designed for those who need to stay connected and informed, making it a perfect fit for security personnel, sales staff, outdoors enthusiasts, and more.
The MAT MURS Alert Transmitter, a passive infrared sensor, can be conveniently mounted on a tree or post to monitor remote locations. When it detects people, vehicles, or large animals, it sends an alert signal in clear, spoken English to the M538-BS or M538-HT transceivers. With four distinct alert messages, you can simultaneously monitor up to four different zones, enhancing the security of your premises.
The MURS Alert Transmitter boasts five channels and 38 subchannels, minimizing interference from other users. Powered by 6 AA alkaline batteries (not included), it offers a battery life of approximately one year under typical conditions. The transmitter's range extends up to several miles (depending on local terrain), making it an invaluable tool for businesses monitoring customer traffic, security guards overseeing remote warehouses, farmers securing vacant farm sites, and hunters tracking game trails.
The M538-HT 2-Way Handheld Radio, a portable and user-friendly device, not only receives alert signals from the MURS Alert transmitter but also facilitates two-way voice communications between other MURS transceivers. With five channels and 38 subchannels, it ensures clear communication with other users. The handheld radio is powered by six rechargeable batteries (included) that provide about 40 hours of use per charge.
The M538-HT can communicate over distances of several miles (depending on local terrain), and the FCC allows MURS usage without a license. When an alert signal is received, the M538-HT sounds off with a voice alert signal and displays an alert icon, providing both auditory and visual cues. This feature is particularly beneficial for small businesses, farmers, security guards, and outdoorsmen who require real-time monitoring and two-way voice communication.
The M538-HT can also communicate with the M538-BS, enabling direct contact between someone in the house or shop and someone out in the field. This feature is ideal for parents keeping track of their children, or supervisors maintaining contact with their employees. With the MURS HT Kit, you can enjoy a durable, reliable, and comprehensive security and communication solution.
