Good Reliable Radio.......2005-04-15

I've had a pair of these radios for about 2 years and I've been happy with them. The transmission is clear and easy to understand. I've never really tested them for range. I've tried them in town (flat terrain, 1 or 2 story houses) and they receive up to a mile or so, which is as far as I've ever tried them. If you're next to high voltage power lines the range may be much less. A buddy and I have used them fishing from Kayaks on lakes. They worked well when we were a good ways apart on the lakes with islands and shore line between us. I was well pleased with their performance there. We've used the voice activated mode some. They work well, so well we had to turn the sensitivity down so that their rubbing in a fishing vest pocket didn't activate them. My wife and I have used them around the house more than anything though that wasn't why I bought them. Sometimes we even use them between rooms in the house or I sometimes have one when I'm working out in the back yard or shop and one in the house to communicate with my wife. They've worked well and I haven't had any problem at all with them in the two years we've had them. Battery life is good. I've had building project going in the back yard for about 3 weeks and we used them a lot during that time. I would occasionally ask her to come out and help with something. Most of the time they were just on and not transmitting - which is the usual anyway but they went for several days on a set of batteries that had already been in the radios for a while.

sound great, but jeez, get the basics right.......2004-01-24

These radios sound great - they are clear and crisp and the battery life is great. I also like the way the lock feature works and the fact that you can select high/low power at the touch of a button.

However, I bought a set of two of these, and at one point or another, both of them have refused to turn off. Turn the knob to the off position, it clicks to off, but the radio stays on. One of them works pretty well, only exhibiting this behavior occasionally, but the other one never turns off. Put the batteries in, it's on until they die (luckily that's a long time with these radios).

Secondly, they don't handle cold weather well at all.
Try this: Take one snowboarding, but leave it turned off. After about an hour or two of boarding you'll feel a vibration in your pocket. Yes, the thing has turned itself on, kicked itself into vibrate mode and started vibrating. But there's no display on the LCD! It still thinks it's turned off.

So Cobra, if you are listening, getting the thing to turn off shouldn't be a big technical challenge for you - engineers have been very successfully designing devices that turn off going all the way back to the invention of the light bulb.

Not Much to Add to Other Reviews - Itýs Worth Purchasing!.......2003-08-12

See other relevant reviews under the item "Cobra GMRS Two-Way Radio Pair (PR 950-2 DX)." (Unlike the pair, this product has NiMH batteries and a charger.) I agree with those reviews, which basically say that these radios have great sound quality and range. Just a few more points for people who are trying to decide whether to buy one:

SIZE: About the same size as the competitors. Without the antenna and belt clip, it's 11 cm high, 6.5 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick. (That's about 4-1/2 inches x 2-1/2" x 1".) The antenna adds another 6.5 cm (2-1/2") to the height on one side, and the convenient off/on/volume knob 1 cm (1/2") to the other. One unit weighs about 180 grams (6 ounces) with the batteries.

SCANNING: The PR950 has 22 channels: 7 FRS (Family Radio Service, channels 8-14), 8 GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service, channels 15-22), and 7 FRS/GMRS (channels 1-7). It has CTCSS (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System) with 38 codes per channel. Unfortunately, it can scan only the main channels, the codes within one channel, or the up-to-ten codes in its memory. For example, let's say that someone is transmitting on channel 6, code 17; your scan would be able to find that channel 6 is active, but then you have to do a second scan to determine that code 17 is the one being used. I find simultaneous channel-and-code scanning easier to use. Also, it takes five presses of the "mode" button to start scanning; I would have preferred a separate button.

BATTERY LIFE: In the manual, is given as 24 hours in a "1:1:18 ratio" (I think that means that it is tested when transmitting 5%, receiving 5%, and doing neither 90% of the time). That's a pretty long battery life compared with the competition. The selectable high/low (2 or 0.5 watt) power output on GMRS channels helps save the batteries.

OTHER NOTES: The LCD display has a lot of information, such as signal strength meter, whether power saver is on, etc. A button on the side toggles the backlight and also toggles the monitor-a-single-channel feature (called "Maximum Range Extender"). The wrist strap attaches to the bottom of the PR 950. There are speaker and microphone jacks at the top and a charger jack on the side; all three jacks have rubber covers. The 10 outgoing call tones are useful; when people call you, you can choose to be alerted by call tone, by vibration, or both. The voice activation (VOX) mode with five sensitivity settings worked fine for hands-free transmissions. The end-of-transmission tones or "roger beep" can be turned on or off. You can turn off the keystroke tones and can lock the Channel, Mode, and Enter buttons.

CONCLUSION: Buy this excellent 2-way radio at Amazon.com!

Close to perfect.......2004-03-23

In my experience with this controller, I had no problems with it. Although it's made for people with smaller hands, I have large hands and had to make a few small adjustments to my playing to get used to the closer buttons etc.

It was a tough controller too. I dropped it in a rush and it hit the edge of the table hard. It still kept working fine. You might as well call it TIMEX. Later I got frustrated from Virtual Fighter 4 and chucked the controller at the wall. (I know it's stupid) but it still ran great.

I had to drop it one star only because I can relate to some people not liking the close buttons. Although I had little difficulty, some games are harder to play with the buttons so close. My reccomendation is, pick up 3 completely different controllers so you can switch whenever you play a new game.

good.......2003-12-08

This controller was good but you should buy the normal one by microsoft because the right stick is way to far to the left(see picture)

Buttons in the Wrong Spots.......2002-11-09

I would like to say this controller is not good for some games like Halo, but the biggest thing I don't like about this controller is that + buttons are in different spots than all the other controllers. This can be extremely annoying if u are used to the xbox controllers.

MAD CATZ PRO CONTROLLERS.......2002-09-10

EVER TRY GOING FROM REGULAR XBOX CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION TO "S" CONFIGURATION--IT ...--PICK ONE TYPE AND STAY WITH IT--MAD CATZ PRO IS BY FAR THE BEST LARGE CONTROLLER + HAS LIFETIME WARRANTY(IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO SAVE YOUR PACKAGING AND SLIPS)

Poor quality........2002-05-23

Save your money. I bought two Mad Catz controllers for my Xbox. Both broke (the shoulder trigger buttons). I had to replace them with orginal MS controllers that are much more durable. Judging from other reviews it is a common problem.

Good DVD-R.......2004-03-07

I've burned several DVDs using this Verbatim model on a single speed DVD burner and have had NO problems with any of them. The DVDs played on every DVD player I've tried. The only thing I haven't tested is how well ink stays on these inkjet/thermal DVDs.

Great unless you have DSL............2006-06-12

We bought this system for our small office and loved it for about a year until we got DSL and then the entire system went haywire. Apparently, the system uses the same frequency as DSL and you have to order a special splitter and have your phone company install it for you to correct the problem. Well I spent 2 hours on the phone with At&t arguing with them before they would even agree to send me a splitter and then an hour on the phone with Bellsouth explaining what I needed them to do. Repairman came out, crawled the house, etc and apparently it's not going to work any way we do it. So we wasted our money on this system and now have to replace it. So be careful...

Great Phone.......2005-02-14

I bought this phone mainly because I wanted a model that had numerous speed-dialing buttons and a decent speakerphone. Thus far, I am very pleased with the model. The 945 is a 4-line phone designed for office use, but it works great as a home phone. It has 16 speed dial buttons located on the right side of the phone. This makes it a snap to call family and friends by just pushing two buttons - one for speakerphone and one for the number. The speakerphone seems to work well and I also like the green backlit lcd display, which generally looks cool but also makes the phone easy to use in the dark. It also displays the date, time, number dialed, and phone call length, useful for keeping track of how long an interesting (or not) conversation has been going on for. Phone preferences can be set by an easy to use on-screen menu system and there are also a bunch of ring tones to choose from, which I appreciate because I have chosen a lower frequency tone that is so much more pleasant than the typical high-pitched annoying telephone ring my last phone had. Be aware, though, that Caller ID isn't supported on this phone.
