About Cobra Electronics:
Cobra
Electronics has been a leading manufacturer of popular navigation and
communication products for years. They began their expertise with two-way
radios, radar detectors, and citizen band radios. Now, they’ve expanded their
offerings to include GPS, mobile navigation, and marine electronics, and from
all indications, they’ve been greeted with great success.
Cobra includes everything one
needs to get the MR HH400 handheld VHF radio functioning straight out of the box
Impressions:
The Cobra
MR HH400 XVP VHF (Very High Frequency) handheld radio is a dual power marine VHF
transceiver loaded with features such as Tri-Watch, 10 NOAA weather channel,
weather alert, and much more. Housing this one or five watt radio is not your
standard rectangular chassis but a design that's much more rugged and a shape
that ensures an easier, better grip, especially in rough rolling waters. The
submersible handheld has eight controls for quick access to important features
and a rugged stud antenna that can be taken off and stowed during transport.
Buttons are strategically chosen
and placed for quick access to important features
The MR HH400 VHF radio comes loaded with
accessories including six long-life 2100 mAh Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable
batteries. NiMH batteries are great because they can be recharged at any time
without having to worry about battery "memory", a malady that afflicts many
previous generation rechargeables resulting in shorter life spans. In addition,
the package includes a desktop charger with both 120V AC adaptor and 12V
vehicle/cigarette lighter plug, removable belt clip, and a wrist strap.
We field tested the Cobra VHF
radio on land and on the water
Field Tests:
Marine VHF
radios are widely used by saltwater sports fishermen but can and should be used
by anyone who loves the outdoors. We field tested the Cobra handheld VHF radio
on the ocean, lakes, hiking trails, and more. Before you set out, make sure to
reference your manual for channels you can use safely without interrupting
commercial or emergency channels.
