Product Description

Ever wish you could talk to someone who wasn't within earshot? Like contacting ski partners back at the lodge? Or letting a friend know how to find you in a busy mall? Cobra's MicroTalk 2 is a great way for friends or family to increase their fun - and safety - by staying in touch while on the go.The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has created 14 license free frequency bands, or channels, called Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies. All of these 14 channels are easily accessed on your Cobra FRS radio. These channels are in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band which means great penetration through buildings, thick forests, hills, and other dense structures. They are also FM (Frequency Modulation) signals which means crystal clear reception even in crowded noisy environments.

Amazon.com Product Description

The FRS 250 microTALK 2 is a high-end family radio service (FRS) radio sporting 14 channels, 532 total sub-codes, and voice scrambling. The antenna swings down to facilitate portability, and covered microphone and speaker jacks on the top of the unit make the device compatible with many popular headsets currently on the market.

The voice-scrambling feature functions only when all of the people in your party are using microTALK 2 radios. If they are, then you can select a channel and subcode so that only radios with the proper configuration will be able to decipher your scrambled signal. The FRS 250 can also transmit call tones to other people who are using your channel to alert them that your transmission is about to come through.

An LCD on the front of the unit displays the channel, subcode, battery indicator, and other useful information. An interesting feature of this radio is a button that disables automatic squelch settings and, thus, potentially extends the device's maximum range. This could be especially useful in an emergency, when automatic squelch would otherwise keep a distant transmission from coming through. --T. Byrl Baker

Good radio, great price.......2002-01-09

We've been using the FRS250 radio for about three years now with no major complaints.

The radio offers the 14 FRS channels, and can optionally use the 38 "privacy codes" to suppress communications from other radios (assuming that they aren't using the same privacy code as you). By setting the privacy code to 0, you hear everyone's transmissions, regardless of their privacy codes.

Battery life so far has not been an issue. Though we haven't measured how long you can listen or talk on a channel before the batteries die, we have yet to run into a situation where a fully charged set of batteries has run out on us during use. A fresh set has lasted us a week at Disney World, for example, with moderate use (a few minutes of communication about a dozen or so times a day). Still, rechargeable NiMH batteries would be a wise investment.

Some of the more interesting features:

1. This model does voice-inversion scrambling (referred to as "voice privacy"), which reduces the likelihood of eavesdroppers: only other users with a Cobra radio and the "privacy" feature will be able to understand your conversation.

2. There is a "squelch suppress" button that will allow you to hear faint transmissions that would normally be silenced by the radio. Note that you'll hear tons of static too, so only use it when you need to.

3. A lock button, to prevent accidental changes in your radio's configuration. This is more useful than it sounds, particularly in environments where the radio can get bumped around.

Some caveats:

1. Cobra's marketing refers to the privacy codes as "sub-channels", which is a misnomer. The radio only has 14 channels, and these 14 channels are set by the FCC for the Family Radio Service. There is no such thing as a sub-channel. See the FRS FAQ for information on privacy codes and what they do.

2. The voice-inversion scrambling offers privacy only from casual listeners. People with Cobra radios or that have equipment to invert the voce signal will be able to hear you. It is a very nice feature, but it does not offer enough privacy for things that you do not want others to hear (your credit card number, etc.)

Overall, we've been satisfied. It would be nice if the headphone and microphone jacks were combined into a single jack, but this is a minor nit. The unit is less expensive than the equivalent Motorola models, and performs well enough for general use.

BAD BAD BAD!.......2000-10-16

An electronics fan from New York State USA They are not good radios! they do not function right and always break. I'm from a company who rates diffrent dadios do not come out on top. Out of 350 radios tested it can out as 310th it is a waste of money!

Great Radios.......2000-08-22

These radios are the best that I have ever used. They feature 14 channels and 38 sub channels, that makes 532 different channels so even in the most crowded areas there is no problem finding an open channel. In the rare case that someone wanders onto your channel they will not be able to listen in on your conversation because this radio encrypts or scrables your voice. The radios have a tremendous range of two miles considering how small they are. At this price you can't afford not to have one.

Editorial Review

Preschoolers with a flair for adventure can bring this portable boombox, featuring chief adventuress Dora the Explorer and her monkey companion Boots, along on their next journey for musical accompaniment. Measuring 6.7 by 6.3 by 4.7 inches, the boombox is compact for carrying and durably constructed out of hard plastic that can take a few knocks. A cassette player along the top is controlled by big buttons that allow kids to play, fast-forward, or stop a cassette tape. For a change of pace, kids can switch the boombox over to play FM radio instead. The large rotary tuner and volume knobs are easy to control; however, the cassette player keys are set very close together, making it difficult for younger kids to hit just one. Twin speakers on either side blast the tunes or there is a headphone jack on the front in case parents don't want to listen. The Dora the Explorer boombox has a carrying handle and operates via four "C" batteries (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

Dora Radio / Cassette Player is a HIT!.......2007-01-27

Got this for my granddaughter for Christmas & she loved it. It's compact & easy to carry around. She's able to play her books-on-tape on this. The picture on top is so cute (she was soooo excited to see that) & now her 1-yr old brother is enjoying it as well.
I read on other reviews that the reception is poor, not the case for us. She's able to get any station in that we get on the other radios in the house.
This was a HIT! Your Dora fan will love it.

don't bother - cheap.......2006-05-10

What a waste of $[...] ....it worked poorly for a week or two and then my son dropped it and nothing has worked since....the buttons are too small so you have to help them and it is not durable made for the dora-age audience.

Waste of Money.......2006-02-18

My daughter received this as a gift for Christmas. It didn't work so we exchanged it for another one. The radio gets no reception but it did play tapes for 2 days. Now the tape player is no longer working so it is useless. My daughter loves the prettty Dora picture on it but is upset once again that it doesn't work.

Mixed feelings.......2005-11-09

I got this boombox for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She's a big Dora fanatic and loves music so it seemed perfect. She enjoys it ok, but my 1 yr old boy really loves it. He likes to push the buttons and make the music stop and start. But that is the problem, just like all other reviewers have mentioned, the 3 control buttons are tiny and are crammed together making it very difficult to hit the tiny little play button that is crammed between the FF,Rev and a raised edge.

The unit works well enough to keep young children happy, but it is certainly not up to adult quality standards. Toughness-wise, it has stood up to my 1 yr olds abuse for 3 months without breaking.

It surprised me how difficult that it has been finding children's cassettes. Most stores sell CD's so I've had to find blank cassettes to copy their favorite CD's to.

To summarize, the kids like/love being able to carry their music around and to try to control on/off and volume. But I as an adult am dissappointed with the lousy button controls and mediocre quality.

CHEAP RADIO / CASETTE PLAYER!.......2005-10-15

The radio doesn't work at all. I live in a big city, and still horrible reception. Very scratchy! Who wants to listen to that, but that's not why I bought this thing. I wanted it for the casette player for my child. BUT, the play button is between the forward and the stop button. The play button is difficult to get at and they end up pressing the play and the forward button together. That messes up the tape. I don't know why they designed the buttons so poorly. The design of the buttons / controls is 1 star. You need very good fine motor skills to press that play button, otherwise; the child will be very frustrated. Or, they come to you and ask you to press the play button for them, which defeats the purpose of them having their own player that they can use!
