Digital Modes, Text Messaging, Repeaters—and Why Clarity Matters

In this episode of the Prep Comms Podcast, we dive into one of the most misunderstood parts of MURS radio: digital modes.

Is digital really banned on MURS? Can you send a text? What about crossband repeaters or modes like MT63, RTTY, or APRS?

Caleb clears the air by breaking down what the FCC actually allows—and where people still cross the line. From legal analog data modes to banned digital voice, this episode brings clarity to a confusing corner of the radio spectrum.

We’ll also hit:

  • Texting over MURS (yes, it’s possible)

  • Why repeaters—including crossband—are a no-go

  • How your antenna system makes or breaks signal strength

  • What “manual control” and bandwidth limits really mean
