Product Description
For personal contact with people in (up to) a 10 mile area, the 2-Way radio is an excellent, reliable method. Use it while camping or hiking in the woods. It uses select radio frequencies so it doesn't depend on telephone lines. The Cobra PR-190 comes in a GMRS and FRS two-way radio value pack with a range of up to 10 miles. The radios include rechargeable batteries and a "Y" wall charger. Roger Beep, a Battery Low indicator, Battery/Power Saver, and Call Alert, make this an affordable and compact option for everyone from the novice to the professional radio enthusiast! If you need to keep in contact with more than just one other person, buy 2 or more packs. It's a great local communicator for everyday use or for emergencies. Auto Squelch Automatically shuts off weak transmissions or unwanted noise due to terrain or range constraints. LCD Display Easy to view display provides the radio's status at a glance Keystroke Tone Signal Confirms key activation Speaker/Microphone/Charger Jack Allows use of wall charger, or earphone speaker/microphones (not included) for hands-free operation Belt Clip Secures your microTALK radio while on the go Includes 6 AAA Rechargeable Batteries - Radios can also be used with 3 AAA alkaline batteries per radio (not included) Wall Charger charges supplied rechargeable batteries inside radios. Charger accommodates 1 or 2 radios. Unit Dimensions per radio - Length - 1.5 x width - 2 x Height - 5; Weight - 2.469 oz

 Cheap batteries won't recharge September 30, 2008
Concerned buyer (Syracuse, NY USA)
As an inexpensive pair of "walkie talkies", these are fine for kids. As a previous reviewer noted, the very fine print states that you indeed need an FCC license to use most channels ("A user must be licensed prior to operating on Channels 1 thorough 7 or 15 through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of this radio"). My biggest complaint, however, lies with the made-in-China rechargeable batteries--at least half of them would not recharge, and yes, I did try them in different combinations and in both handsets and with both leads of the charger. The units chew through battery life so quickly that you definitely will want rechargeable batteries. Consequently, I have more than doubled the cost of the units by purchasing quality rechargeable batteries (you need a total of 6).
 really nice...for tiny distances August 31, 2008
Patrick Weber (Coventry, CT USA)
While they are really nice walkie talkies for very short distances, like between cars on a road trip, like i use them for, their range is absolutely terrible. They stop working completely at under a mile in an average suburb, let alone a city. Possibly I got defective ones but i bought six of them and they all function the same...so not likely. They are very nice and cheap, and I love the size and simplicity and that they come with a charger and rechargable batteries, but the distance is like i said, terrible.

We live in the hills of TN, where my husband & sons traverse & hunt regularly, these little babies do what they say, no problems getting a clear signal over/under hills, hollows & ridges! They work just fine!
As a matter of fact, I believe this is the same set my husband had me re-order for a monthly give away for the kids youngsportsman.com website for the month of August '08 see then here: http://www.youngsportsman.com/
Great price...great product! May 28, 2008

I haven't tested this for range yet, but wanted to add comments about the battery charging. The Low Battery Icon does NOT measure the amount of charge left on the battery. After charging the batteries, this icon will appear, and it looks like it didn't take a full charge. It's only when the Low Battery Icon FLASHES does it mean that the batteries are low. I called Cobra to ask about this because I didn't think the batteries were charging. The instructions don't tell you this. Will add more comments later after I've used it more.
What I especially liked about these two-way radios is that you can use alkaline batteries if the rechargeable batteries are too low to use. That's a real plus.
