Any ham transceiver with a 2W or lower power setting and a half deviation
capability would satisfy the "spirit" of the regulations, however the type
acceptance issue sometimes gives rise to a heated debate. But since a large
number of potential MURS users are not hams, the general unavailability of
low cost, type accepted HTs alongside the FRS/GMRS bubble-pack radios is one
of the big reasons why MURS didn't catch on. I briefly used my Yaesu VX-150
for MURS, but I don't really have any reason to use MURS any more. The only
activity I hear in my area is on the upper two channels, and is always
business-related--probably hold-overs from when the channels were licensed.
It's a shame it didn't catch on because it's a great service.

MURS has an odd deviation limit on three channels.
Other then type acceptance, I guess you could clip the magic diode in
an Icom IC28/A/H and turn down the power and use it on two MURS freqs.
