Walmart typically utilizes a set of frequencies within the Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) for its in-store and store-to-store communications. These frequencies are generally consistent across many Walmart and Sam's Club locations, enabling reliable internal communication.
The specific frequencies commonly used by Walmart and Sam's Club, along with their associated PL (Private Line) codes, are detailed below:
| Channel # | Frequency (MHz) | PL Code |
|---|---|---|
| CH 4 | 151.8800 | PL 136.5 |
| CH 5 | 151.9400 | PL 136.5 |
| CH 6 | 154.5700 | PL 136.5 |
| CH 7 | 154.6000 | PL 136.5 |
Understanding MURS Frequencies
The Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is a license-by-rule radio service in the United States, meaning individuals and businesses can operate MURS radios without needing an individual license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). MURS operates on five specific VHF frequencies, and Walmart utilizes four of these for its operational needs.
These frequencies allow various departments within a store, such as customer service, loss prevention, and management, to communicate efficiently. The use of a consistent PL code (136.5) helps filter out unwanted transmissions from other radio users on the same frequency, ensuring clearer internal communication for store associates.
