MURS Radio Technology on the Tread

The Tread® GPS Navigator and all models in the Tread® series uses MURS (Multi-Use-Radio-Service) radio technology when used with the Group Ride Radio. You don't have to file a license with the FCC to use the Tread with the Group Ride Radio, unlike GMRS, which is another popular radio service.

Visit the FCC Website for more info on MURS radio channels.

See your owner's manual for instructions to select a MURS Radio Channel on your Tread® with the Group Ride Radio.

See Legal Restrictions for Group Ride Radio for more information.

NOTE: Third-party radios and Garmin devices that operate on or near the MURS band may be used to communicate as long as the correct radio channel and squelch code is used. Depending on squelch setting, the non-Garmin radio user may hear a very short tick every 2.5 sec, due to position data for the group ride.  See Possible MURS Radio Interference With Compatible Garmin Devices for more information.
