Digital camera reviews of Cobra MicroTalk LI 6500-2 WX VP 20-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair)
Digital camera Review: Cobra LI 6500
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, I used it extensively this past weekend, as we did a lot of backpacking. I certainly did not get 20-mile service with it. Often the other scouts who had other radios from other brands got better reception than I did with the Cobra. Often the incoming message was more easily received on other radios than the new Cobra that I had. There are many settings that I'll have to play with to hopefully improve the performance.Digital camera Review: Cobra LI 6500-2 WX VP
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned GMRS radios from several different manufacturers in the last few years. This is my first Cobra set. What surprised me at first was the construction of this unit. It appears to be 'built to last'. It's obvious that there is a higher degree of quality that goes into this radio than in some other manufacturer's radios. The buttons are designed to greatly minimize accidental 'pushing'. For each button, you have to depress the soft rubbery outer button cover with purpose to effect the change. Speaker sound quality is excellent as well. This particular model has about as many different functions as you'll find in any GMRS radio today (although voice scramble would be a nice addition)! I have not tested this radio at full advertised distance because I will probably never use it under fully optimal transmit/receive conditions anyway. Beware, the picture for these radios on Amazon.com is slightly deceptive. They do not have a flat bottom so they will not stand up on their own. All in all they are well worth the money!!Digital camera Review: Codra LI 6500-2

Dead on arrival the base charger was the problem the radios use a rechargeable battery so the charger is critical for operation.Digital camera Review: Excellent product for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
We are very pleased with the Cobra 2-Way radios. Excellent range, alert call and alert vibrator..Lock feature for the channel in use. Great price for all of the features. Dual chargers included which is an excellent feature.Digital camera Review: Good for around the farm
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a farm that is located in a cell phone dead zone. When my wife tries to call me for lunch or to check on me when I am in the field the phone will not work. We read the reviews on the Cobra LI 6500-2 and decided to give them a try. We have tested them from 10 miles out and they will not cover that distance around here but luckily my farm is not near that size. I can get reception from about 2 to 5 miles depending on trees and hills and that is enough. They are easy to use and the price was right for our limited use. The call function is great and the size is great. The channels come in clear but be warned 20 miles is a long way. They might work on water but not in the hills.
