GET A LICENCE, or use the right kind of radios.

The HAM test requires study and a $17 test.
Determined quickly whether a radio is legal to use on MURS:

If the radio was Part 95 certified prior to November 12, 2002 and transmits no more than 2 watts, and has no external control to increase power above 2 watts and only operates wideband on the 154 MHz frequencies (all parts must be true)
