  • Overview of the Cobra 75 CB Radio With Bluetooth

    Cobra recently added a new model to its lineup of CB radios with Bluetooth functionality. Called the Cobra 75, this AM/FM CB Radio has wireless connectivity to an all-in-one handset. All of the controls are on the handset itself, so the main unit can be tucked out of the way while the driver can operate the radio from the noise cancelling hand microphone.

    In this video segment from episode 186 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast, Rick provides a brief overview of the Cobra 75 and all of its key features and specifications. The Cobra 75 All Road Wireless CB Radio with AM/FM + Bluetooth is available from Buy Two Way Radios.

  • Cobra Two Way Radio Battery Compatibility Chart

    One important consideration when choosing a portable handheld two way radio is power. Since batteries are usually the primary sources of power for handheld radios, the type of power cells needed is a key question. There are many makes and models of radios to choose from and there are a many different types and sizes of batteries available on the market, some of which are only compatible with specific radios, so the answer can be quite confusing.

    In the case of Cobra FRS/GMRS two way radios, the battery options are specific, yet they vary significantly between different models within the product line, even between models that use the same type of battery. To simplify things, we've created a chart that compares all current Cobra consumer walkie talkies with the types, sizes and the number of batteries each radio requires.

    Model Battery Type Size Quantity
    CX112 Alkaline AAA 3
    CX210 Alkaline AAA 4
    CX312 Alkaline/Rechargeable AA 3
    CXT135 Alkaline/Rechargeable AAA 3
    CXT145 Alkaline/Rechargeable AAA 3
    CXT235 Alkaline/Rechargeable AAA 4
    CXT345 Alkaline/Rechargeable AA 3
    CXT390 Alkaline/Rechargeable AA 3
    CXT425 Alkaline/Rechargeable AAA 4
    CXT545 Alkaline/Rechargeable AA 3
    CXR725 Lithium-Ion CXR725 Battery Pack 1

  • Radio 101 - How to set vibrate alert on a Cobra CXR radio

In this episode of Radio 101, Anthony from Buy Two Way Radios shows you how to set VibrAlert on a Cobra MicroTalk CXR925. This procedure also works on CXR725 and CXR825 radios.

  • Cobra's New Two Way Radios For 2013

    Are you guys tired of all the new product announcements we've had lately? If you said yes you should stop reading now, because in this post I'll be talking about some new Cobra walkie talkies that will be available soon!

    Cobra has announced six brand new additions to their microTALK FRS/GMRS radio lineup for 2013: the CX112, CXT145, CX312, CXT345, CXT390 and CXT545. The CX112 and CXT145 models will be redesigns of the current "100 series" models, but the CX312, CXT345, CXT390, and CXT545 will be completely new.

    Micro USB Support, Waterproof Radios, and Other New Features
    The most interesting new item for me is that all of the new radios will support charging via a Micro-USB port. Motorola was first to offer walkie talkies with USB charging ports, but they use the older and slightly larger Mini-USB. I love seeing radios moving to industry standard charging solutions. Sure, we'll probably sell fewer overpriced replacement chargers, but I still believe that if our customers are happier we'll benefit in the long run.

    Cobra CXT545
    Cobra CXT545 Walkie TalkiesThe CXT545 is a two watt radio that is packed with quite a few features that are new - at least to Cobra. This radio just looks like it was designed for the outdoors, and has features to match. It has a rugged look with rubberized grips and adds a NOAA weather alerts feature. You no longer have to be actively listening for weather info to be notified that severe weather is approaching. A handy LED flashlight is also a new addition.

    The CXT-545 also meets JIS4 standards for water resistance. While not fully submersible, this means the radio should easily withstand rain. This level of weather resistance is equal to that offered by the Midland GXT1000, but is not as good as the Motorola MS350R or Uniden GMR5089.

    The CXT545 has the best of both worlds when it comes to charging options. It includes NiMH batteries and supports plug-in charging through its Micro-USB port, but a drop-in cradle charger is also included. So whether you prefer drop-in or plug-in charging, the CXT545 has you covered. This model is expected to be available in April, 2013 and has an MSRP of $89.95.

    Cobra CXT390, CXT345, and CX312
    Cobra CXT390, CXT345, and CX312 Walkie TalkiesI'm combining all of the "300 series" models into one category because, well, they are all the same radio. Each of these models is a package containing the exact same radios - the only differences are with the charging options. The CX312 is a basic radio-only package - you have to use 4 "AAA" batteries or buy your rechargeable batteries separately. The CXT345 includes NiMH rechargeable batteries and a wall charger with plug-in Micro-USB ports for the radios. The CXT390 has all of that, plus a drop-in charger.

    These are nice looking, mid range radios. They have one watt of power and all of the features that most people are going to be looking for in a set of radios, but not a lot of bells and whistles. One nice addition is that the proactive NOAA Weather Alert is included with this model, so these radios would be good to have around on an outdoor adventure.

    Each of these models is expected to be available in March of 2013. The CX312, CXT345, and CXT390 will have MSRP's of $49.95, $69.95, and $74.95, respectively.

    Cobra CXT145 and CX112
    Cobra CX112 and CXT145 Walkie TalkiesLast year, when Cobra announced the CXT135, they immediately had the lowest priced two way radio that included weather channels. They are continuing that trend this year as both the low priced CX112 and CXT145 will offer this feature. While these models are still considered entry level, the weather channels will definitely set these apart when comparing them with similar models from competing brands. With a half watt of output power, however, they are not the right choice when you need a long range radio.

    Like the 300 series above, the CX112 and CXT145 are identical except for their charging options. The CX112 will not include rechargeable batteries or a charger and will have an MSRP of $39.95. The CXT145 will include NiMH rechargeable battery packs and a plug-in Micro-USB charger.

    What's Being Discontinued
    For years now, Cobra has led the way on lithium battery powered FRS/GMRS radios. If you're a big fan of their powerful and lightweight lithium models, don't worry - they're not going anywhere. The CXR925, CXR825, and CXR725 are going to remain a part of Cobra's lineup for 2013.

    Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing for the non-lithium models. Radios like the CXT425, CXT235, and CXT135 will be phased out over time.

    All of the products mentioned here are packages that include a pair of radios.
