PR255-2VP-C specifications

Cobra Electronics PR255-2VP-C is a versatile two-way radio that stands out for its durability, advanced technology, and user-friendly features. Designed for both recreational and professional communication needs, this radio is particularly popular among outdoor enthusiasts, emergency responders, and construction workers.

One of the key features of the PR255-2VP-C is its robust communication range. It operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which allows for a longer range than standard FRS (Family Radio Service) radios. With a maximum output power of 6 watts, users can communicate effectively over several miles, depending on terrain and atmospheric conditions. This makes the PR255-2VP-C ideal for activities such as camping, hiking, and off-roading.

The device is equipped with a 22-channel capability that includes 7 GMRS channels and 14 FRS channels, providing users with diverse options to find open channels and avoid interference. Each channel supports 121 privacy codes, which helps to maintain private communications by reducing the risk of eavesdropping.

Another noteworthy feature is the built-in NOAA weather alerts. The PR255-2VP-C offers users timely updates and warnings about severe weather conditions, making it a reliable companion for outdoor adventures. This feature includes 10 weather channels, ensuring that users stay informed regardless of location.

Durability and ease of use are further enhanced by the radio’s design. The PR255-2VP-C comes with a rugged, waterproof housing that can withstand challenging environments, allowing it to resist splashes and dust. The LCD screen is backlit for visibility in low-light conditions, while the intuitive interface ensures that users can navigate the various settings with ease.

Powered by NiMH rechargeable batteries, the Cobra PR255-2VP-C ensures extended use without the frequent need for disposal batteries, promoting environmental responsibility. Additionally, the included dual-vehicle charger makes it easy to keep the radios charged while on the move.

One of the standout technologies incorporated in the PR255-2VP-C is the vibrate alert system, which discreetly notifies users of incoming calls or messages. This is particularly advantageous in noisy environments or when silence is required.

In conclusion, the Cobra Electronics PR255-2VP-C combines robust features, durability, and user-focused technology to deliver a reliable communication tool. Whether for work or play, its various capabilities make it an excellent choice for anyone needing dependable two-way radio communication.
