Two Way Radios

The new Cobra CXR725 has arrived here and so far we like it a lot. Cobra claims the CXR725 is the "world's smallest high-powered GMRS/FRS radio" and we think that may very well be the case. It has a very compact design (though not much different from previous CXR series radios) that will make it very easy to carry around. It is not much bigger than a cell phone, so those of you looking for a small, but feature rich radio, should give it a look.

The Cobra CXR725 has VOX hands free operation, VibrAlert® silent paging, NOAA weather alerts, a backlit display, and it comes standard with rechargeable high capacity lithium ion battery. In fact, the CXR725 is one of the few GMRS radios with a Li-ion battery.

We have the Cobra CXR725 here in stock and ready to ship out for $49.99. If you have any questions then just give us a call (877-226-6445), send an email, or leave a comment here on our blog.

The new Motorola MB140R has finally arrived. It is a very compact radio that is designed to be easy to use. The MB140R is replacing the Motorola FV300R. It is a 22 channel FRS/GMRS walkie talkie and it features channel scan, low battery alert, backlit display, and a battery meter. The Motorola MB140R is a great basic GMRS radio making it great for an emergency kit, summer vacations, or to even give as a present.

Looking for an FRS/GMRS radio that is more water resistant than most? Then give the Uniden GMR2872-2CK a look. While you cannot go snorkeling with it, it can handle a dunk in shallow water and will even float. This is a good radio for weekend boaters, or those who will not get out of the rain.

It has all the main features you expect: 22 FRS/GMRS channels with 285 privacy settings (142 Privacy Tones + 143 Group Codes), NOAA weather channels, caller ID, a backlit display, missed call indicator, channel scan feature, and silent mode. We have them in stock for $74.99

Yes, Spring is here! Many of us are now thinking about camping trips, perhaps a bit of yard work, and a rediscovery of the joys of being outdoors. Well one radio you might want to have with is the Midland Base Camp XT511. The XT511 combines a NOAA weather radio, AM/FM radio, and FRS/GMRS radio.

One great feature is that is can also operate on battery power, you can plug it into a power source, or by turning the Dynamo crank. This makes the XT511 ideal for emergency use, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions. And since this a GMRS radio, just add a set of Midland GMRS radios to cover all of your communication needs.

The XT511 also has a USB connector so you can charge your USB enabled devices (such as many cell phones). We have the Midland XT511 Base Camp Two Way / Emergency Crank Radio in stock and ready to ship for $69.94.

One of the new radios we just got in stock is the Cobra microTALK CXR925 GMRS two way radio. Not only is the design original compared to most two way radios, it also uses lithium ion batteries. Most consumer radios use nickel cadmium batteries which honestly are just not as good. Li-Ion batteries last longer and also do not suffer from "memory effects" when charging.

The CXR925 is relatively compact and has all the features you would expect form a top of the line GMRS radio (142 privacy codes, VOX, NOAA channels, silent alerts, and key lock). It also has the Rewind-Say-Again® feature. You can replay calls and record messages for playback.

We have them in stock and ready to go for $74.99. The CXR925 value pack comes with two radios, Li-Ion batteries, desktop charger, and wall adapter.

We have a new radio that some of you might be interested in. Our Motorola RDX RDV2020 (MURS Edition) two way radio operates on VHF MURS frequencies used by many VHF radios, including MURS, Kenwood TK-2200, and Motorola XTN XV1100, XTN XV2100, and XTN VX2600 series radios. This means it does not require a license as long as you use MURS frequencies! The RDV-2020 MURS edition radio comes with 27 (including all five MURS) of the most common VHF frequencies already programmed.

The Motorola RDV2020 MURS edition has 2 watts of power, 2 channels, and comes with a lithium-ion battery. The RDV2020 is a though, and reliable commercial grade radio. The fact that it also uses MURS frequencies makes this the perfect choice for those looking for a VHF radio that does not require a license to operate. We have it set to the two most common MURS frequencies (154.570, and 154.600), but they are very easy to change.
