Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Walkie Talkies & PMR446 Radios
I've used these as my standard 'site' radios for about 5 years, and when running teams of beaters on various shoots. For The site work (we're sand blasters) they stand up very well - eventually the screens do get a little scratched; and this year's winter weather has caused me problems on the shoots - killed a couple of the older machines with rain - but it was very very wet! The only other thing to be aware of is that I have had issues with 'non-UK' MT975s... recently bought a pair from Spain as they apparently offered the best value... suspect that the frequencies uses are subtly different. They work fine together, but not well with my existing machines - the call button definitely seems to use a different frequency for example.

These are rubbish walkie talkies only go about 300 yards,i bought these because it says it go's over 7 miles, would be OK in a factory or somewhere in the same place,they are no good for long distant as described,i bought cheaper one's one time which went a lot further and worked in a built up area,so don't waste your money.

A well made, robust product full of features but also easy to use as a basic communicator. Clear reception which seems to work better than some other brands as compared to those used by my friends. As far as battery life is concerned this is an unknown although I have used it all day listening with occasional transmissions without any problems. The docking and charging station is a neat unit and it is very easy to drop your radio into to charge at the end of the day. I chose this product because of the brand name as Cobra have been producing good quality communication equipment for years including Citizen Band radios. As a complete package of two units and charger I think it is reasonably priced and should give years of service. Very pleased with the purchase so far
I bought these as a Christmas present for my 9 year old daughter, who is going through a massive James Bond phase. After using these radios extensively, I would thoroughly recommend them. As with all PMR radios, you don't get anywhere near the stated range (12km) in typical usage, but the packaging and manual does make this very clear. In a heavily built up area, the range is probably around 500-800 meters. In the open (across the sea), we saw good signal at just over 5km (which is very good for a 0.5W transmitter). Speech quality very good, the display is clear and legible, and they feel very nice in the hand. As a bonus, you get a charging stand and 8 NiMh rechargeables. There are a number of extra features, such as 'VOX', which makes the handsets go open mic when someones speaks, instead of having to press the 'transmit' key. They can also work as a baby monitor. All in all, a great product for very reasonable money (approx. £30).Read full review
A couple of years ago I bought a pair of these walkie talkies. They were great. So I needed a couple more sets for remote locations and it looks like the charging circuit has been changed so that the units get one fixed charge period and the charger then turns off. Unfortunately this means that if you leave the units in the charger base they end up flat. The orginal pair I had didn't do this. If you take them in and out then all is well and they charge. I think I'll have to make a box that interrupts the supply once a day so that they stay charged.
