The Cobra PR1000 are the best radios I've owned. I recommend them!

Pros Do not expect to get a 5 mile range as advertised when using high power.
Cons The speaker has the best sound quality of any FRS/GMRS radio I've owned.
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned my PR1000 radios for over 5 years and they are still going strong, and they are still as good as new.

The battery cover is very durable in spite of what a previous reviewer wrote. If anything the battery cover is a bit difficult to remove. My cousin once forgot to turn off the... Read full review »

Pros Large display, good audio, solid feel, sits upright on desk
Cons Uses six AA batteries, no charger included.
Recommended it? Yes

Very good radio that should provided years of satisfactory service. I bought these units about 18 months ago and have given them light use. Like all others, don't believe the distance claim. Cobra states 5 miles on these, but unless you're on a lake or desert, figure about two miles max. This was... Read full review »

Pros Cheap
Cons Needs 6 AA batteries, can't recharge without removing.
Recommended it? Yes

The Cobra PR-1000 UHF /FM radios are nice if you need inter-operability with FRS, but the lack of rechargeable battery support makes them expensive to operate for longer trips or outings, where the radio is on for eight to ten hours a day.

The buttons are also too easy to press, so if you... Read full review »

Pros good range, removable antenna, good audio quality
Cons terrible battery cover (can use tape to hold it on), bulky
Recommended it? No

Pros:
The range and audio quality are good. Probably better than most of the smaller radios.
Removable antenna may allow you to use better antenna for even more range.

Cons:
Large, bulky size (uses 6 'AA' batteries)
Terrible battery cover (falls off just by touching... Read full review »
