Frequently asked questions

Common questions about COBRA from 3G Electric.

What FCC licensing requirements apply to COBRA two-way radios?

COBRA two-way radios require an FCC license depending on the frequency band and power output. For example, the Performa 400 Series UHF radios (SKU 401RM5 and 401RM3) operate at 2 W and require an FCC license. Similarly, the TrailBlazer GMRS radio (SKU 879F74) at 2.5 W requires a license. In contrast, the RX-Outdoor FRS radio (SKU 822P36) at 1.1 W does not require an FCC license. Always verify local regulations, as licensing ensures compliance with interference and usage rules.

What is the battery life of COBRA handheld radios like the Performa 400 Series?

The COBRA Performa 400 Series handheld radios (SKU 401RM5 and 401RM3) provide up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge. This is based on standard usage patterns with the included rechargeable battery. Actual runtime may vary depending on transmission frequency, volume level, and environmental conditions. The radios use analog technology, which conserves power compared to digital models.

Are COBRA marine radios waterproof, and what IP rating do they have?

Yes, COBRA marine radios such as the BlueBound 650 (SKU 418DM7) and BlueBound 350 (SKU 418DN0) are rated IPX7, meaning they can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without damage. This applies to both handheld and mobile models, including the vehicle-mounted units (SKU 418DM6 and 418DM5). The IPX7 rating ensures reliable operation in rain, splashes, or accidental drops overboard.

What is the difference between COBRA FRS and GMRS radios?

COBRA FRS radios, like the RX-Outdoor series (SKU 822P36), operate on Family Radio Service frequencies at 1.1 W with 40 channels and do not require an FCC license. GMRS radios, such as the TrailBlazer series (SKU 879F74), operate on General Mobile Radio Service frequencies at 2.5 W with 4 channels and require an FCC license. GMRS offers higher power for longer range but is subject to stricter regulations.

Do COBRA marine radios include GPS and Bluetooth features?

Some COBRA marine radios include GPS and Bluetooth. For example, the BlueBound 650 handheld (SKU 418DM7) has GPS for location tracking and Bluetooth for hands-free headset or phone connectivity. The BlueBound 350 handheld (SKU 418DN0) does not include Bluetooth. Mobile models like SKU 418DM6 and 418DM5 include GPS and Class-D DSC for emergency signaling. Check individual SKU specs for feature availability.
