Description:
Make family trips more fun and take the sting out of your cell phone bill at the same time with this pair of Cobra FRS 110 microTALK two-way radios. This set comes with rechargeable batteries and a charger--you can outfit yourself for a hiking trip or set up a simple home intercom with one purchase.Why invest in yet another communication device in this age of cell phones? In practice, cell phones don't often work in enclosed areas or outside major population centers and you can rack up charges in roaming areas. If you want to keep in touch in the great outdoors, at an amusement park, or while caravanning down the highway on a road trip, two-way radios are a great alternative. Family Radio Service (FRS) is a segment of the FM radio frequency spectrum that was set aside in 1996 for use by small groups at short ranges. Use of this UHF range--from 462.5625 to 467.7125 MHz--is free and doesn't require an FCC license. When using an FRS radio, expect reception to be affected by the terrain--thick woods, buildings, and electrical sources will cut your range. However, if you're transmitting to another radio from a mountaintop or other high point, you could reach someone miles away. The Cobra FRS 110 is especially suited for FRS beginners, with simple control buttons on the front panel. Automatic squelch prevents the radio from activating until a voice signal is received. With squelch, you won't hear random popping and hissing from other electronic devices or atmospheric signals. The keypad lock prevents accidental pressing of buttons, and the call key lets you signal anyone in your party with a distinctive tone. Families looking for affordable and dependable communication should consider the simplicity and versatility of the Cobra FRS 110 microTALK.
