FRS 104 specifications

Cobra Electronics has long been a respected name in the realm of communication devices, and the FRS 104 is no exception. This robust two-way radio is designed for both recreational and practical use, proving to be an essential gadget for outdoor enthusiasts, businesses, and family outings alike.

The FRS 104 operates on the Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies, which allows it to provide clear communication over short distances without the need for a license. With a range of up to 16 miles in optimal conditions, users can stay connected during hiking trips, camping adventures, and while participating in events or festivals. It effectively bridges the gap where traditional cellular service may falter, particularly in remote areas.

One of the standout features of the FRS 104 is its compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry. The device boasts a user-friendly interface with large buttons that enable quick access to functions, even in gloved hands or under adverse conditions. The LCD display provides essential information at a glance, such as battery status and channel selection, enhancing usability during your excursions.

The Cobra FRS 104 is equipped with 22 channels and features 121 privacy codes, significantly reducing the likelihood of interference from other users. This ensures private and secure communication even in crowded environments. Additionally, the built-in scan feature allows users to search for active channels, ensuring they connect with others instantly.

Another impressive attribute of the FRS 104 is its durability. Designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, it features a rugged exterior that is both shock-resistant and weatherproof, offering reliable performance in various environmental conditions. The rechargeable battery adds to its convenience and sustainability, allowing users to power up their devices without the constant need for disposable batteries.

Moreover, the FRS 104 incorporates advanced technologies such as Auto Squelch which automatically reduces background noise, ensuring clear communication. The inclusion of voice-activated transmit (VOX) functionality enables hand-free operation, which is particularly beneficial for those engaged in activities like hiking or riding.

In summary, the Cobra FRS 104 is an exceptional two-way radio that seamlessly combines functionality, durability, and user-friendly features. Whether for work or play, this device keeps communication lines open in virtually any setting, making it an invaluable companion for anyone who seeks reliable connectivity beyond the scope of traditional communication devices.
