INTRODUCTION
This ultra compact, ultra clear 2-way handheld radio is a convenient way
for friends or family to increase their fun—and safety—by staying in touch
while on the go. All you need to do is select a common channel, push a
button on the side, and talk. It’s that easy and Cobra’s FRS 200 radio
works just as well indoors no matter what walls or structures are in the
way. Your new Cobra unit uses UHF (Ultra High Frequency) which mean
outstanding penetration through buildings, thick forests, hills, and other
dense structures. FM (Frequency Modulation) signal transmission means
crystal clear reception even in crowded environments. This is the first time
professional business band frequencies are available to the general public
with no costly license or air time charges.
