The last thing you want to hear on a hunting trip or a hiking trail is a beeping radio. Yet you still want to stay in contact for company or in case of emergency. The Cobra FRS 305 microTALK radio solves this problem with its innovative vibrating alert for incoming calls. Instead of a tone, you receive a silent notice that someone is trying to reach you.
The vibrating alert is only one of the Cobra FRS 305 microTALK's handy features that make this two-way radio a must-have for active, outdoorsy types and busy families. This radio is made for outdoor use with a waterproof casing in winter moss for a stylish silver finish.
With Family Radio Service (FRS), you can give each family member a radio and not have to worry about cell phone coverage or expensive roaming charges. Reach anyone instantly with the touch of a button or make announcements to everyone in your group at the same time.
What is Family Radio Service? In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set aside one part of the FM radio frequency spectrum 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. (GMRS, or General Mobile Radio Service, does require an FCC license.)
Cobra's microTALK radios come with features that make using FRS simple and enjoyable. The Cobra FRS 305 features an automatic squelch that 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.
This radio comes with all 14 available FRS channels plus 38 CTCSS subchannels, or privacy codes, per channel. CTCSS codes are actually tones that "code" and "decode" a signal, allowing the people in your group to transmit on the same channel without having to listen to other radio traffic on the same channel. Note that these privacy codes won't keep others from listening to you--FRS users without a CTCSS code-enabled radio can still hear your transmissions. (For more about privacy codes, see our Two-Way Radio Buying Guide.)
The channel scan feature allows you to search available frequencies for a clear channel and monitor activity from other transmitting radios. The keypad lock prevents accidental pressing of buttons, and the call key lets you signal anyone in your party with a distinctive tone.
Serious outdoor lovers considering an investment in Family Radio Service should consider the features, power, and versatility of the Cobra FRS 305.
