Cobra has upped the ante with this package. They took the popular FRS 104 and threw in a battery recharging unit, complete with a dual desktop charger and two rechargeable NiMH battery packs. The battery packs will run for approximately fifteen hours; if you use your 2-way radio often, these battery packs will not only save you money, but will also save your local landfill valuable space. The FRS 104 is a simple-to-use, reliable, durable 2-way radio. It's perfect for both family and business use. Take it to the beach or the ski area; use it between construction floors or in a loading dock. With a two mile range, the 104 gives you the maximum amount of power available without a FCC license. You'll appreciate the backlit LCD screen in evening or early morning. Whether you want to use your 2-way radio to make life easier or safer, or both, the efficient Cobra 104 is a nice choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Channel button qualifies as a manufacturing defect!, September 4, 2002

This review is from: Cobra FRS 104VP 2-Mile 14-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Electronics)

I bought a pair of FRS 104's for a recent trip to wine country and was quite disappointed. The channel button has NO LOCK, and is large and easy to bump (i.e. accidentally change). This flaw rendered the FRS 104 virtually unusable! You can't put this radio in your purse or pocket and still stay in touch. You can't even casually pick it up to carry on a conversation without the danger of inadvertant channel changes. I e-mailed Cobra about this, but was snubbed and told to take it up with my retailer. Fortunately Lowe's has a great exchange policy and I'm now the proud owner of 2 Motorola T6220's-for a mere 13 dollars more. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. No way, No how.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used in Baghdad, Iraq, February 15, 2004

This is a great set of radios for the price to include the charging station. Great range and clarity. I haven't had to use them no more than one kilometer, but with all the buildings in my area, these are great. Really practical without all the extras.

Con--NO KEYPAD LOCK! I had to constantly check to see if I was on the right channel due to the equipment I carry hanging across my chest, but to stay alert is to stay alive so I adapted.
