Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cobra's FRS 100-2 is a family radio service (FRS) walkie-talkie. The external slide switch allows you to talk on two of the 14 available FRS bands. And, with 500 milliwatts of output power, the Cobra FRS 100-2 transmits as well as higher-end models. With a two-mile range, these walkie- talkies are well suited for most family outings.

An audible incoming-call alert lets one unit ring another FRS to initiate a conversation, and the talk confirmation tone indicates the completion of your transmission and signals others it's clear to talk. Other convenient features include a headphone/speaker jack and a low-battery indicator.

The Cobra FRS 100-2 is powered by four AAA batteries (not included) or an optional NiMH rechargeable battery (not included). Charge pads allow a trickle charge of the NiMH battery pack by placing the radio in a charger (not included). You can expect 20 to 25 hours of operation with either battery type.

Cobra offers a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nicely priced item that widens two-way communication., September 22, 1999

This review is from: Cobra FRS100-2 2-Mile 2-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Electronics)

I work at a university in California as a maintenance worker. My boss and I have to keep in touch in order to best meet the needs of our housing residents. Before we used the Cobra Micro Talk 1 we relied on our campus pager system. This was not an effective method since we had to find campus phones and wait until the other person responded to the page. With the Micro Talk 1 we are able to connect quickly and effectively. We can now communicate in seconds instead of minutes. The battery life is long because of the stand-bye feature, we have been able to use them for several weeks before the batteries run low. The only down side to the Micro Talk 1 is that we sometimes have to deal with other radio traffic because of the two-channel limitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Radio for travel - as long as you stay within 1/2 mile, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cobra FRS100-2 2-Mile 2-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Electronics)

This radio worked very well within the 1/2 mile range with very clear communication. 1/2 mile to 1 mile was broken but understandable. The main problem with this radio is that one of the two channels are probably being used by someone else due to the unusually strong sales of these radios. We usually were able to switch channels and get uninterrupted communication.

I bought these radios, because of the first factor I had: They were inexpensive. I wasn't expecting much for the money I invested, but I was most definately surprised at the quality and value I recieved. I took them to "A popular resort park in Orlando" and experienced my first problem: FRS is a heavily shared frequency, and it was very hard to communicate with my party. I did have fun talking to other guests, though. My next trip was to the mountains. Here, they proved invaluable. Noone else was apparently using FRS in the area when we were there, and it was excellent for confirming rendezvous times and places. The range is superb. Somewhat surprising. My voice, and the person I am talking to can easily be heard sometimes up to a mile away over hill, dale, and wadi. The features are easy to use. My 5 year old has no problem using it (no, he dosen't go out alone). The page feature is good to have, as well. The size of the unit makes it easy to slip into purse or pocket, or attach to a belt with the clip. It is a breeze to use, and great fun to have. I will never regret buying mine, and I don't think you will either.
