Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cobra's FRS110 Micro Talk two-way radio uses maximum power to deliver clear reception up to a two-mile range (terrain variable). Its 14 channels operate over family-radio-service-band frequencies that don't require fees. This model's illuminated LCD display aids usage in low- or no-light settings. Push buttons confirm activation with a tone signal, while a one-touch monitor button extends reception range. Its auto-recall feature remembers the last channel used so you don't have to. It also audibly alerts you to incoming calls and to the end of a transmission. Made of rugged plastic for active use, the FRS100 Micro Talk is a lightweight, palm-size unit with a flexible antenna that withstands breakage. A built-in speaker and microphone jack enables hands-free use (accessories not included), and a holster-style belt clip doubles as a stand. The unit is designed for use in the U.S. and Canada only and comes with a two- year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK, so you can't talk to outer space!, May 20, 2001
This review is from: Cobra MicroTalk FRS1102 2-Mile 14-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Midnight Frost) (Electronics)
I own a set of these FRS radios and they get a workout! We use them in museums (like the Louvre!), big grocery and department stores and car caravans...since these radios use the UHF frequencies, "line-of-sight" is important for maximum range...I have obtained almost 2.5 miles or so, but one person was on top of a hill and the other down in a small city...otherwise, expect about a mile and change between 2 cars (put the radio outside the window for maximum range - unless it's raining!) and anywhere between 3/4 mile to 1.5 in town, depending on how surrounded you are by buildings. For most people these radios can be very useful...we like 'em in malls, etc so we can go to shops each of us likes and then just buzz the other when we are ready to do something else. I bought the rechargable NiMH batteries...a real long term savings and good for the environment too...I get decent time usage with the NiMH The extra "fluff" items one can buy like AM FM or weather...well, geez, why oh why pay for something you already have? Just get a model with the 14 channels and be happy. These radios are a godsend when 2 people are traveling to strange cities, looking for parking spaces or directions, etc and allow one person to leave the car or luggage safely and carry on some business. The Cobras are a great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cobra 2 way radio ROCKS!, August 8, 2001
By 
Donna Massaro (Woodbridge, Connecticut United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cobra MicroTalk FRS1102 2-Mile 14-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Midnight Frost) (Electronics)
When I received these 2-way radio's I was very very pleased. First of all, I think that it is convenient that it comes with a belt holder so you don’t have to hold it all the time. Secondly, the 2-way radio has 14 clear channels, a green light that lights up the screen so you can see at night, and it has an incoming call feature.

The range I am very pleased with. I tested it with my brother and we got about 1 1/2 miles until the radio got a little static but I could still here him clearly. But it got static because he was deep in the woods, with all trees around. On clear land without any huge buildings around or any trees the 2 way radio can reach up to 2 miles.

They're very reliable for everyday use. Plus the batteries last a really long time.

These work very well in amusement parks, malls, sport complexes, between cars, etc.

They also include a speaker and headphone outlets on the top of the 2-way radio.

Overall I am very pleased with these radios.

5 stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars a good low-frills com-set, April 27, 2001
This review is from: Cobra MicroTalk FRS1102 2-Mile 14-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Midnight Frost) (Electronics)
We first read about these radios in the Circuits section of the NY Times. The article pointed out that all com-sets of this type have, by law, the same power and, therefore, the same range. Additional frills {features} add nothing to the range or clarity, only to the price (features). We went the stripped down route and are quite happy with them after a 2-car ,2 family trip through the Islands of PR on which we were able to keep track of and summon our young ones from the pool to lunch, keep in touch with hiking members of our group, and have very silly talks from our respective jeeps as we drove home from dinner. The range is less than the optimum 2 miles, but was, within the limitations of line-of-sight and interference, enough to be more than a toy and less than a C-Phone. We've also found it great at malls or large Super Markets, or even at the Casinos at Atlantic City. The pit bosses don't like them, though, as they could possibly be used to C-H-E-A-T.
