The M538-BS is a 2-way radio transceiver designed for use with the Dakota Alert MURS-based alerts. This base station has five channels and thirty-eight subchannels for communication with other users over several miles (depending on terrain).
You are allowed to operate this two-way base station with a license. The M538-BS plugs into a standard wall outlet through an included transformer.
A radio alert is sent from a Dakota Alert MURS-based transmitter. Once the base station receives the radio signal, it chimes and displays an icon in the LCD window, letting you know a signal has been received. The base station also comes with a “Normally ON” (NO) relay that can be used for add-on devices such as an alarm panel, door chime, strobe light, siren, and many others.
The M538-BS also communicates with the Dakota Alert M538-HT or handheld transceiver. This is also a two-way radio. You can communicate two ways with the other transceivers to communicate with other users on the system. This system has a range of several miles which gives you added flexibility and usage.
*Actual range will vary depending on the local terrain.
