Advantages Of Two Way Radios
While having a cellphone on you might make you feel safe and secure, having a set of two-way radios or "walkie talkies" offers some wonderful benefits you don't get with a phone.
Unlike your phone, communication radios have no fees or subscription services. That also means there's no cell network to rely on and they'll work anywhere, even in the remote wilderness. As long as the radio has power and another radio is in range, you can talk as long as you like.
This brings up the next great benefit... power. Most two-way radios use standard AAA batteries that are available everywhere and can even have rechargeable options. Plus some advanced units, like the Cobra CXT145, offer a Micro-USB port that will charge up rechargeable batteries without the need of taking them out.
The Cobra CXT145 (or CXT116) comes in a two-pack and has been fully refurbished in North America. Each radio has 22 different channels so even in a crowded city, you'll be able to find a blank channel to keep your communication private. And with setup or calibration needed, all you need is three AAA batteries (not included) and you're ready to go.
There are literally hundreds of uses for these radios. Bring them camping, on a road trip with multiple cars, have fun with the kids, or add a PTT (Push To Talk) headset for reliable communications while riding your motorcycle with a passenger or group.
You can have as many people using these radios as you want. Even if you got 100 of these, as long as you put them on the same channel, all 100 of you can communicate! There is even a "Call" button that will alert any of the radios within range.
If you are out on the road, take advantage of the weather/emergency radio function. Ten different channels give you access to local weather and emergency conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How Far Can I Talk With A Two Way Radio?
The Cobra CXT145 has a maximum range of 16 miles. To get the 16 miles range, each radio needs to be in a flat or sloping landscape with no obstacles. In a varied elevation landscape, these radios will transmit for about 8 miles. In condensed cities with many trees and buildings, you can expect to talk for 1 to 2 miles. NOTE: This model is the same unit as the Cobra CXT116 that you may see labeled on the box.

I really mean it when I say, I think this price may be a mistake... I'm kind of a radio guru, and never before have I seen a quality set of Two Cobra Walkie Talkies for anywhere near this price. Sure they are refurbished... but not overseas. They have been checked and rebuilt from the ground up right here in North America.
If you ever thought about getting a set, at this price you really can't afford not too, especially because these are so useful. They are great for keeping communication between two or more people on a road trip, hiking, or in hundreds of different work-related scenarios. Plus these are so much fun for the kids!
There are 22 channels of private communication and there is no limit as to how many radios you can use, so you can get a bunch and communicate with your whole neighborhood.
The best part is these are professional name brand Cobra radios that have a rage up to 16 miles. Even in the city with buildings and other obstacles in the way, you can still except to communicate up to 2 miles.
These also make a great backup to your cell phone. Since they don't rely on a network or cost any fees to setup or use, they can be used anywhere and at any time. For added safety there is even a 10-channel weather radio that will give you local weather anywhere in the USA 24/7.
