Finally a radio that works,April 13, 2009
By Stutzmanhunterfrom Ft. Wayne, In.
"I was tired of using the other toys in the form of a walkie talkie. So I opted to spend a little more money on the Cobra 425, and glad I did. The gmrs worked great on my recent turkey hunting trip with my wife to Kansas. The units worked well out to 2 miles on medium power through hills and woods. Also the batteries didn't need charging the whole week. Can't wait to use them in Alaska when I am duck hunting in the Bearing Sea."

Not just for the boat.,January 1, 2009
By schorlcatfrom Winston, OR
"It's a little big, but it has a great range and the sound is crystal clear. My husband and I use them when hiking in the woods. We end up miles apart, over ridges, ect. We can keep in touch over far greater distances than with any other hand held radios we've used. The size doesn't bother my husband at all, but it seems a little big for me."

Overall a good radio,December 10, 2008
By RevJimfrom Outback, All over Northern Nevada!
"Bought this to use both on the boat and with the 4 wheelers, I am a bit disappointed with the range on flat land, over 3 miles the radio fell off fast. The PTT switch is very stiff and hard to use. However the battery pack lasted 3 days with moderate useage. All in all not a bad radio."

Cobra 425 VP VHF/GMRS Handheld Marine Radio,February 20, 2008
By 02Mattfrom Thousand Islands, St. Lawrence River, Clayton, NY
"Radio range has been exceptional for a handheld. The VHF/GMRS/weather capabilities are extremely convenient to have in one radio. The battery life has far exceeded that stated within the product manual. Most of the use has been in extreme cold temperatures and snow conditions, and the radio has performed flawlessly. It's been dropped in the snow, on the ground, out in the rain, and in 0 deg F temperatures with zero issues. It is a little bigger than some other hand held radios, but the extra features, range and battery life far outway the slightly larger size."

Great Radio,July 5, 2007
By CrispyCritter56from Wasilla, AK
"This radio really deserves five stars but the first one I received was defective so I had to knock the rating down a bit. Cabela's great customer service sent the second one UPS overnight as I needed it for an upcoming trip. It functioned flawlessly. Compact size. Crisp, clear audio. Great range on the water, (8 miles at least), dual transceiver frequencies, weather band, and all the other bells and whistles described in the ad. Even though the first one I received was defective, I'd recommend this radio to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, compact, powerful, vhf/gmrs radio. It'll be with me whenever I'm on the ocean as a trusted backup to my primary 25 watt vhf radio."

Cobra 425 VP VHF/GMRS radio,July 3, 2007
By Searchandrescuefrom Stockton, CA
"This radio is very good. I use it mostly on the water with The US Coast Guard that I belongs to. Everyone likes it. It is rechargable and able to use regular batteries. As for those that use these types of radio's knows that its not the out put power, infact, with only 1/2 watt, you can talk to the moon but it is the features that is very good. And told them about Cabela's web site. I am a Lt. Commander"

Cobra 425 VP VHF/GMRS Radio,May 29, 2007
By Chatterboxfrom Fresno, CA
"The Cobra 425 is a wonderful radio. It comes with a charger for both an electric outlit and a cigarette lighter. 6 couples held a little "Fishing Derby". We all were to have radios so we could talk and keep track of each other on Whiskeytown Lake in CA. We didn't have a radio so I ordered this product. The reception was great no matter where the other boats were on the lake. It was easy to use. It stayed charged for the 5 days we fished...still is holding a charge. And people could hear us very clearly when I spoke. I recommended it to another fishing buddy and I think he is going to buy one so we can communicate when we fish together on other CA lakes."
"I thought the set just a few ago . Well it told me about 2mth to receive it . And when i received the box its was alittle wet . As i can said it is a bit heavy when using it with 6AA batt . But i Like it alot. and i now going to order my second set."
