How your CobraMarine™ VHF radio works

This radio is a battery powered portable transceiver for use afloat. It gives you 2-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. With it, you can call for help, get information from other boaters, talk to lock or bridge tenders, and make radiotelephone calls to anywhere in the world through a marine operator.

Besides 2-way communications, the radio can provide quick access to receive all ten (10) NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) weather channels and alert you to weather emergencies with a tone on a weather channel you can select for your area.

This innovative technology allows users to replay the last 20 seconds of received transmissions, ensuring no important messages are missed. The bright backlit display and simple interface make it user-friendly, even in low-light conditions.

The radio also includes a dual and triple watch capability, which allows users to monitor two or three channels simultaneously. This functionality is particularly useful for boaters who want to stay informed about both routine communications and emergency channels.

The Cobra MR HH400X VP is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing convenience while minimizing the need for disposable batteries. The high-capacity battery ensures extended usage, making it a reliable companion for long boating trips.
