Cobra’s FRS 220-2 is a family radio service (FRS) walkie-talkie. The external slide switch allows you to talk on all of the 14 available FRS bands, and it includes 38 sub-bands per channel. And with 500 milliwatts of output power, the Cobra FRS 220-2 transmits as well as higher-end models. With a two- mile range, this walkie-talkie is well suited for most family outings.

An audible incoming-call alert lets one unit ring another to initiate a conversation, and the talk-confirmation tone indicates the completion of your transmission and signals others that it’s clear to talk. The electronic memory remembers the last channel used, while the key lock, when activated, prevents accidental channel change. Other convenient features include a water-resistant body, a backlit LCD display, a monitor function, a headphone/speaker jack, a belt clip (which doubles as a desk stand), and a low-battery indicator.

The Cobra FRS 220-2 is powered by four AAA batteries (not included) or an optional NiMH rechargeable battery (not included). Charge pads allow a trickle charge of the NiMH battery pack by placing the radio in a charger (not included). You can expect 20 to 25 hours of operation with either battery type.

Cobra offers a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
