External Devices And Connections

Installation And Start-Up

Global Positioning System (GPS) Device (Not Included)

Cobra® strongly recommends that you obtain and connect a GPS device to your CobraMarine VHF radio. By having a GPS connected, your position will be continuously indicated on the LCD and, most importantly, it will be included automatically in any DSC distress message you may need to send. That will take the “search” out of “search and rescue.”
