Review: Exceptional FRS Radios - This is my third pair of FRS radios in about three months. I use these daily to set up K9 Search & Rescue problems for my dog in the Rocky Mountain region. It isn’t practical to use radios that require a license for training because I’m always using different ‘subjects’ so that the dog learns to discriminate between the scent of different people. For those who don’t know, the FCC limits the power on FRS channels to 2-watts which isn’t much. In certain terrain, the usable range of these radios can be less than a mile but that’s the downfall of all FRS radios - regardless of the range manufacturers put on the box. These radios can also access GMRS channels and will automatically transmit with 5-watts of power on GMRS channels. This does help extend the range slightly over FRS. We have tried Midland and Motorola radios; they all perform similarly on the respective 2-W and 5-W channels. The difference between Cobra and others is volume, durability, and the user interface. The radio models I have tried that use buttons for volume adjustment are not practical to use. You have to be in the right mode to adjust volume and some have such weak speakers that you can’t hear the radio unless you hold it to your ear. The two main functions of any radio are on/off and volume. Because those two functions are on a dial, the buttons on the front of the radio can remain locked once the radio is set up. This is huge! With other radios, you are constantly fiddling with the buttons to lock and unlock the buttons each time you use them. Lastly, the Lithium ion batteries perform better than expected. I was hesitant to purchase these because it’s really easy to swap out AA batteries in the field. The lithium ion batteries have good life and the indicator gives you plenty of notice when the battery starts to fade. These radios are about as good as they get for non-licensed use. Review: Better than expected! - These were IMPRESSIVE. so when i first turned it on it defaulted to channel 1. it kept picking up a lot of chatter from other people and so i was a little meh about it. THEN i got the bright idea there is more channels for a reason.... so flipped it to one that was silent and this thing worked FARRRRRRRRRR. i am in love with these radios. ## Features - Rugged & Splashproof: Splashproof (IP54) walkie talkie with up to 38-mile range. Built with a strong shell and drop-proof design so your radio can withstand harsh conditions. The waterproof design allows clear communication in rain or shine. - 60 Preset Channels: Easy access to 22 standard FRS channels plus 38 pre-programmed channel/privacy code combinations to secure your conversations from surrounding hikers, hunters or wherever your adventure takes you. - NOAA Weather Channels: Get 24/7 access to NOAA weather channels so you can always be prepared and connected with those you are traveling with in the instance you run into bad weather conditions. - Voice-Activated Transmission (VOX): Hands-free usage to automatically transmit when you speak so you can keep your arms and hands free. Great when hunting or for construction sites or other working conditions. - Patented Vibralert: Enhanced vibrating feedback notifies you of incoming transmissions, so you never miss an alert.

Metal, concrete walls, vehicles, terrain, and weather can reduce range. In typical use, customers see 0.5–3 miles; in ideal conditions, ranges extends several miles. **Q: What size is the headphone/speaker jack?** A: The 2.5 mm jack on the right side of the radio is accessible by lifting the black flap. **Q: What is VOX?** A: VOX is a hands-free, voice-activated feature that lets you transmit without pressing the push-to-talk button for hands-free functionality. On VOX-enabled models, this feature works with or without a headset. **Q: Can I take it on a cruise?** A: Generally, yes, you can use these radios on a cruise. As a rule of thumb, up to 5 watts and no auxiliary antennas are permissible, but you should always confirm with your cruise line for their specific policies. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional FRS Radios *by J***N on September 12, 2021* This is my third pair of FRS radios in about three months.

THEN i got the bright idea there is more channels for a reason.... so flipped it to one that was silent and this thing worked FARRRRRRRRRR. i am in love with these radios. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use for kids and good quality *by B***Z on June 24, 2026* My kids love it and I feel calm that they go outside with the neighbors and I can called them at any time. Channel selection is easy, you just choose the same to the other walkie talkie you have and don’t have to change it, if for example you use it only with your family. Weight is like like a normal phone, so its ok. Suitable for kids, my youngest is 7yo and he use it pretty well. The quality is excellent and never have a problem with battery life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cobra RX680 Waterproof Walkie Talkies - Rechargeable, 60 Preset Channels, Long Range 38-Mile Two-Way Radio Set (2-Pack),Black and Orange - Cobra ACXT1037R FLT Floating Walkie Talkie - Waterproof, Rechargeable, Long Range up to 37-Mile Two Way Radio with NOAA Weather Alert & VOX, (1 Pack) - Cobra GA-SV01 2P Surveillance Walkie Talkie Headset Microphone, Compatibile with All MicroTalk Two-Way Radios, Silicone Ear Tip, Black, (2-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/163258910-cobra-rx680-walkie-talkies-2-pack-ip54-water-resistant-design](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/163258910-cobra-rx680-walkie-talkies-2-pack-ip54-water-resistant-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
