Introduction
Our Thanks to You
•
Thank you for purchasing a Cobra VHF/GMRS Dual Band radio.
Properly used, this Cobra
®
product will give you
many years of reliable service.
HowYour Cobra VHF/GMRS Radio Works
This dual band radio is a battery-powered portable transceiver for use afloat or on
land. In Marine VHF mode it gives you two-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore
station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation
and operational purposes.
In GMRS mode it allows you to reach other GMRS capable radios for short-distance
two-way land mobile communication. This mode is normally used for small group
communication such as in a general residential area or during recreational group
outings.
Note: GMRS radio usage requires an FCC License.
