Cobra Two Way Radio

If I buy American two way radios eg- cobra radios, will they work in the uk?

Cheers

They will work between each other, but the frequency they are on is not for public use and you will interfere with emergency services, when they trace you, you will be heavily fined. You may also cause a loss of life.

I downloaded the form from the FCC web page, but it is very extensive, I want to save time and do it right.

Eliminate paper filing and get your license in a day or so. If you want to pay via credit/debit card. That's the way most do it now.

Register for a new FRN,(free) from there you can then log on and apply for a license. The license class you want is "ZA General Mobile Radio service.

The process is automatic, files your application, collects fees, and shows your license in the database.

Let me know if you have problems... you can have your callsign within 24 hours if you apply before end of business.

For example, I am very interested and will most likely purchase a new 2-way radio (GMRS/FRS), specifically the Cobra LI-7200/2WXVP GMRS 2-Way Radio Value Pack that boasts a 27 (that's TWENTY-SEVEN) mile range, when, in fact, from reading many, many reviews, the most that has been reported is maybe 2 miles?

Now, I understand that there are MANY factors involved, such as urban usage - buildings, houses, cars, trees, etc., but seriously, that is more than a 75% difference. Where are "they" coming up with those astronomical figures? Are the using the ocean, or airspace as their testing grounds?

You know, Walt Disney World covers about 47 square miles which is about the size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands - so what good are these or any other two-way radios?

If you mention skiing in the mountains, don't bother cause I was using a 2-way radio while skiing in Colorado and took a wrong turn and ended up literally in the streets of town and I couldn't contact any of my party for assistance which led me to walking 2 miles in my rented ski-boots just to find a bus. Now, I am from Florida and let me tell you, we aren't used to ski boots when they are attached to skis, so don't think us boys down here like them any better now.
In my title, I meant to type "boast", not "boat".
A GMRS license? Yeah, right. Then why don't they include one (or information)when you purchase any GMRS 2-way radios that are for sale to the public? The ones I am referring to are the maximum power output allowed by law.

Click below for the 2-way radios I am referring to:

"marketing hype"? Seriously, it sounds to me like "false advertising", in which case, a lawsuit should be filed, eh?

Pure marketing hype. Manufacturers want to sell radios. They inflate their numbers drastically. You will not make more than 2 miles. I can't even make 27 miles with outdoor GMRS antennas.

License requirement information is in the manual of every radio. Yes, a license is required for the GMRS frequencies.

i was wondering what the diference between these two cb's are... i looked them up and both have night watch, which makes them glow at night time.... but i dont know why one costs more than the other... can you mabye help me? Ans if you had or own one of these tell me how they work!

well, their really is no difference, i dont believe the 29 LTD Classic has night watch... thats what NW stands for on the other.

Thats the only real difference, also.... thats sort of expensive for a Cobra 29, you can almost get a galaxy for that...

I know theirs plenty of places you can get them for 80 bucks.... try your local truck stop....
