Description of πŸ“» Dakota Alert MURS Handheld Transceiver Kit

Offers a complete monitoring service - This Dakota Alert MURS HT Kit includes (1) MURS Alert Transmitter and (1) M538-HT Handheld Transceiver. Both can be used indoors and outdoors, even during winter. Helps monitor your perimeter - The MURS Alert Transmitter (MAT) has a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that detects large animals, vehicles, and people who are 30~80 feet in front of the MAT. Provides 2-way conversation - The M538-HT Transceiver receives alert messages from any MURS Alert Transmitter. It can also transmit the message to another MURS unit like the M538-BS Base Station. Readily expandable - Dakota Alert doesn't limit you in how many MATs or MURS radios you can add in your wireless communication system. Pair 1, 2 or 4 MURS transmitters with several M538-HT units. Doesn't require an FCC license - FCC allows the use of Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) without a license. This VHF (Very High Frequency) radio operates in 151.820~154.600MHz frequencies.

My personal gatekeeper

Works great. We call it Gatekeeper. We have a small shop with a gate about 200 feet from our large metal building. The alarm block is very basic and crude, but hey, it works. not well protected, basically just sits between two circuit boards, one circuit board is a motion detector and the other is a transmitter with little buttons to change the channel. It was difficult to change the default channel with small knobs. The handheld radio comes with rechargeable batteries and an AC adapter that…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet

i want you to like it

I got this because we have a 1/4 mile driveway and I need to know if anyone is at the gate. He advertises a 2 mile range - that should be over water because he barely makes it at 1/4 mile and I need to place the receiver in a location that will receive but not where we want/need it. The waveform they use is free for public use - and there's a lot of noise on the channels. I tried all the channels, there are 5 of them - and each of them has noise, either repeated clicking or it sounds like…

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll text back later

Great product - even better customer service

Bought this to set up at the end of a long road. I had some experience with the MURS radio band before buying it and for rural areas it offers good range. When I received my device along with the necessary "bird house" case, I was very excited to get it working. I noticed pretty quickly that he eats batteries in the summer. After a few months, the device stopped working even with new batteries. I called Dakota Alert support and the owner very patiently walked me through the diagnostic process…

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
