N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 1 Months	not so bad Strengths: small, lithium battery. Weaknesses: plastic case, have to hold the talk button about 2-3 second before can talk. Summary: Good for traveller. I had the midland radios before, I think midland it's a little bit better than cobra. Cobra just a band name like "intel"... 100% of People (5/5) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

UnknownUser Member Since: Sep 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Month	Cobra microTALK 17-Mile, 2-Way Radios Strengths: Good price for features. Weaknesses: Range not 17 miles - See comments below Summary: Review for: Cobra microTALK 17-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios Can you really get a 17 mile range? Don't hold your breath. The only possible way you may get a range as advertised would be if you and your partner you are talking with are on top of two mountains, in line of sight with each other and the squelch has been turned off as well as the air being suited for best range. Then and only then can you really get the 17 mile range. In reality, you MIGHT get about 10 miles in a flatland area without houses or buildings in the way. In my normal setup, in a normal neighborhood, I was about to get about a mile with mild dropouts. You may get a few miles of range if you are traveling down the interstate and talking to another car traveling with you. These radios are great for general communication but don't expect to get the even 10 mile range in normal areas. The weather radio built in is wonderful. It picks up NOAA radio well and the volume is loud and clear even on low volume settings. End of Review. 96% of People (24/25) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

OBBENBOBBEN Member Since: Jun 2006 View Member's: Reviews	review of Cobra 17 mile gmrs Strengths: Well made and tone quality is superb. Weaknesses: Directions are a little fuzzy to start but experimentation works wonders at figuring out what they will do. Summary: I've been using these walkie-talkies for about a week now and they are well made and high quality. The tone quality is good and while they might not reach quite as far as claimed they do have good range. They are used primarily car to car as we drive cars around for dealer trades and just to stay in touch. 82% of People (9/11) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

Summary: These two-way radio units are much smaller than others I've owned, while providing extended range coverage that exceeds that of much larger units. They're also relatively easy to use. I recommend them for travelers who wish to maintain access with other family members without the cost of out of area cellular calls. 25% of People (2/8) found this review helpful.
