Amazon.com Product Description

The Cobra PR170-2VP MicroTalk GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios make it easy to stay in touch with someone, wherever you may go. This rugged pair of radios is an outdoorsman's best friend, with plenty of range, features, and power to make sure that you don't get separated from the rest of your party in any terrain.

The PR170-2VP MicroTalk radios use the UHF/FM band for ultra-clear, long-distance reception with an extended range capability that reaches up to eight miles, depending upon the terrain. These units feature an easy-to-view LCD display that provides the radio's status at a glance, an easily recognizable call alert that notifies you of an incoming call, and a confirmation roger-beep tone that indicates the completion of the other user's transmission so you know when it is ok to talk. These radios also feature an auto squelch that shuts off weak transmissions or unwanted noise due to terrain or range constraints, as well as a keystroke tone signal that confirms key activation.

The Cobra PR170-2VP radios provide seven GMRS/FRS, seven FRS and eight GMRS channels for a total of 22 channels, all of which are easily accessed via the front panel's push buttons. When combined with the units' 38 privacy codes, users have a choice of up to 836 sub-channels to ensure privacy. These radios are built with a unique circuit that automatically switches to battery-saver mode if there are no transmissions within 10 seconds, thereby extending the battery life, and come with a belt clip to secure your MicroTalk while you are on the go.

The PR170-2VPs run on three AAA rechargeable batteries (included) each, and come with an AC wall charger with a handy Y plug that allows you to recharge the batteries in both radios at once. Each radio has a built-in speaker/microphone/charger jack that lets you not only recharge batteries while in the unit, but use earphone speaker/microphone combinations for hands-free operation. The Cobra PR170-2VP MicroTalk Radios weigh only 2.22 ounces (without batteries), measure 2 x 5.02 x 1.54 inches (W x H x D), and are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.

Two PR170-2VP MicroTalk radios, wall charger with Y plug, six AAA rechargeable batteries, user's guide and warranty information.

Wish there'd been more reviews..........2007-06-16

Okay, first question, why so few reviews? You go on to Amazon.com for the most obscure products, like "Ladies Nylon Ant removers," (remove those pesky ants from your Nylons before you dress in the morning ladies) and you'll see 72 reviews from mostly satisfied customers.

This product for some reason only had one other review. Not sure why. I ordered based on that one review. Mistake.

I got my Cobra PR170-2VP Micro Talk GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios from Amazon in excellent time, very quickly, I thought. I followed the directions to charge up the batteries, and use the product. But for some reason, the sound kept cutting out. I also had problems with functioning radios. I would get about 5 minutes use out of a radio, before the "battery" seemed to stop working. I wasn't sure.

I tried completely new batteries in both radios, and only one consistently worked. Also, the battery indicator never showed "full" so I wasn't even sure if that meant "full battery" or not completely charged, or whatever? Since only one radio was working, it was difficult to tell if it even worked. And how soon before it mysteriously stopped working.

Very poor quality, and I am returning them today. Not recommended. Perhaps I got a bum pair, but like my fellow reviewer from June, I will be also going on vacation soon (to Disneyland) but right now, in June, and I've no time to wait for a refund, or return. I've purchased another pair of Cobra's from Circuit City, which is a step or two up from this model. And they work perfectly!!! And Circuit City even matched this price, as they'e pricing card was incorrectly displayed and they had to lower the price from $50.00. My lucky day.

I love these little walkie-talkies! Got a pair of two and got to more coming for our vacation this coming August. Smaller that what you think, but thats not a bad thing. Easy to carry around and has a belt clip for even MORE CONVENIENCE! Ideal for men or women and works great. Rechargable batteries and charger INCLUDED. PS: Amazon and AntOnline are the best for shipping purposes, never had a problem with either on.

Good radios with a nice set of features but not perfect........2007-05-20

PROS*
COMFORT: They have a good fit and feel solid in my hand - not so small that they feel like a toy and certainly nothing like the old school walkie-talkie.

RECEPTION: The radios are crystal clear and have many channel and privacy options to select from. Reception for NOAA weather radio also works very well. Weather stations are clear if you are within about 50 miles of the transmitter.

BATTERY LIFE: Adequate for normal use. With constant monitoring and moderate transmitting they last a full day with no problem. The base charger is handy if you use the supplied batteries.

AA BATTERIES: One great selling point for me was the option of replacing the AA batteries if it became necessary. I bought these during the Katrina mess and wanted something that I could use regular alkaline batteries in if I had no other options. Believe me when I tell you that when the power goes out for weeks, aside from drinking water, there are few things more precious than a good set of spare batteries. When all other technology becomes useless a good set of batteries may be all that stands between you and news from the outside world, and having spare AA's is a simple swap if needed. For a field or emergency radio this should be a HUGE consideration.



CONS*
RANGE: They claim 12 miles. I suppose you could get 12 miles in the cold vacuum of deep space, but not anywhere near that on earth. The best I've seen was about 2.5 to 3 miles cross country.

WON'T CHARGE HI-CAP BATTERIES: While battery life is adequate for a full day using the supplied nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, they have a capacity rating of only 1000 milliamp hours (mAh). Most MiMH batteries in the AA size that I've seen have capacity ratings from as low as 1600mAh to as high as 2750mAh. The higher the capacity rating the longer they will operate on a full charge, but don't try charging a higher capacity battery while in the radio because it won't work. With high capacity batteries installed, circuitry in the radio will not engage the charger even if the radios are stone dead. I tried a charger with the same voltage but higher output and it still didn't work. However; you can still use high capacity batteries with the radios as long as they have been fully charged in an external charger. If you own a digital camera or anything else that eats batteries you may already have one. Just check the charger for a label stating it is suitable for charging your type of battery.

MENU: The menu is not very intuitive. You scroll through options that are clear enough at first, but going below the top level of the menu can become confusing if you don't do it often enough to remember the steps. This is a common issue with all portable radios of this type so don't let this get in your way.


NOTE: I used these radios probably 3 times for a total of no more than 14 hours when one of them stopped transmitting. They were out of warranty but I sent Cobra a letter explaining the situation. The radios were in mint condition and have never seen dirt or water. Cobra stepped up and repaired the radio at no cost to me. I did not expect them to honor a warranty repair since the warranty coverage had expired, but they repaired the unit and Fed-X'd it back in less than two week. This is the kind of customer service I will remember when I need another pair of radios.

With the few issues I will still give the radios a high score because of the form, features, clarity, and because Cobra stood behind their product.

Very good, Great Preformance........2007-01-16

These radios work very well. The other model the one the one under this I think its the 3500, has a better screen layout that I liked better. And some of the quality was better on the older model. But with this model I found a better preformance with signal. I pick up more signals and they were clearer on the 3800. So overall this is the best preformance radio. And rechargeable batteries with the stand, you can't beat that.

Excellent.......2007-01-14

Bought in Aug 2006 and tested in several occasions; don't know if really covers the promised 12 miles however surely covers a great distance, with pretty clear sound.
The VOX feature saved our new year's eve party as it made the thing act as a reliable baby monitor.
Pretty light weight and the charging base is really convenient.

The ones to buy.......2007-01-11

These 2 way radios and the low price are hard to beat. They are really nice to have while hunting with my son. They work great and are quick and easy to recharge.

Cobra microTALK / GMRS 2-Way Radios.......2007-01-11

A good price deal; at least 20 percent lower than in major discount stores.

The "up to 12 Mile Range" is a real "caveat emptor", i.e., "buyer beware". This range must have been achieved only under the most optimum conditions; maybe over water or in a flat grain field in Kansas.

In any case, it does serve its purpose. The rechargeable standard AAA-size NiMH batteries are much better than the battery backs.

RV Trip.......2007-06-28

Eight users on our trip. Allowed all to keep up w/ each other.
Worked better than I expected.

Great Radios.......2007-06-12

i got these and the first thing i wanted to do is test them to see how far they went. I called up my friend who lives about 10mi away and on channel 15 we could hear each other clearly. Remember u Got to be on High power. Go for them. As far as I know with Li-ion batteries they are a must!

Good radios.......2007-06-12

They perform well and are very compact. They work great in line of sight usage, usually you can get upward of 1-2 miles in normal conditions.

i did not expect much!.......2007-05-23

i use them for work. i work at pet food plant with 2 concrete towers and i can communicate efectivly regardles of where i am in the plant. i have 2 sets of this model and a set of the 8 mile radios. when using them together the vibration alert is not active when initiating a call from the 8 mil radio, but does work with6000 model. the batteries on the 6000 last about 20-24 hrsas opposed to the 8 mile radios nicad rechargable batteries get from 7-8 hours only. the speaker on the 8 mile radio is louder than the 6000 model but regardless the unit's are better than the 3 pack motorolas offered at costco, those have a lousy speaker and those belt clips are cheap. yes the range expectation is no where near what is listed on the packages of all these various mfgs, for my application it is great i just hope they can take a beating, we'll see.

not as expected.......2007-03-29

This unit boasts 17 mile range, but it can actually do about 1.5 miles after that it's quite a waste of time and the manufacturer should really think practically when making these ambitious statements since the customers want to use the product anytime, anywhere. (who wants to wait until they are on level ground without any frequency interference, buildings, mountains, etc, and the manufacturer's dream conditions are right in order to communicate ?)

Disappointing Range.......2007-07-09

The unit works great as along as you are within about a mile of each other. I really don't know where they the 15 mile range from. We traveled about 1600 miles with two vehicles (one a moving truck). We ended up relying way more on our cell phones because they didn't offer the range we were expecting.

walkie talkie.......2007-04-19

Arrived damaged and seller would not back the product. Amazon stood behind the sale and refunded payment. Beware of certain sellers!

cobra pr 5000 gmrs/frs.......2007-01-10

I am a member of the Community Emergency Response Team.
This radio offers a comfortable range of operation for localized team communications.
Another very important issue in choosing this radio over others is that it offers the flexibility of running on store bought batteries (4 AA batteries each) in the event that its emergency use exceeds the capacity of the rechargeable batteries.
Please note that you must comply with the FCC licensing regulation for use of the GMRS frequencies.
That was a painless internet procedure, and the $85 license is good for 5 years.

Cobra PR 5000.......2007-01-09

I have both Cobra and Motorola 2ways Radios Before. Cobra Features are better than Motorola and the PR 5000 is the best Radio for 15 Miles Rages. I am still in doubt in how to obtain the 15 Miles range it claims.

A great radio with excellent range at a good price.......2006-06-20

We use this two way radio in our business. It has proven to be very dependable. It also has decent range.

We have dropped them several times and they keep on working.

It doesn't have some of the features that some of the more expensive radios have- like the digital compass or weather radio channels that the COBRA PR 4000 has- but it does offer lots of channels and is very dependable.

We have used other 2 way radios but for the money this one, the COBRA PR 245, is the best overall value.

We use this 2-way in a medium size retail store (50,000 sq. feet) and it works great. The batteries last a full 12 hour day. There is ocassional static, but normally switching channels solves that problem. They've been dropped several times (on tile and carpet), but they keep on going. We've had them just over months and they still work great! I took off one star because the batteries take so long to charge.
