Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you many years of reliable service. How Your CobraMarine VHF Radio Works This radio is a VHF transceiver for fixed mounting on your boat. It gives you 2-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. With it, you can call for help, get information from other boaters, talk to lock or bridge tenders and make radiotelephone calls to anywhere in the world through a marine operator. Besides 2-way communications, in the U. S. A. , the radio can provide quick access to receive all NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), including two Canadian weather channels for alerting you to weather emergencies with a tone on a weather channel you can select for your area.

This feature allows you to replay the last 20 seconds of an incoming audio transmission. It also allows you to record call details including position coordinates, call signs, registration numbers and store details that will help authorities locate a distressed vessel. Example 1: Rewind-Say-AgainTM When engine noise, music or conversation creates too much noise to hear an inbound message clearly, press the RewindSay-AgainTM button to hear the message a second time. This feature eliminates asking the sender to repeat the message.
