Cobra RX100 Family Walkie Talkies vs Motorola Talkabout T475 Extreme

Buy the Motorola Talkabout T475 Extreme for outdoor use, weather, and battery life. Buy the Cobra RX100 4-pack if you need several radios for kids and short-range neighborhood use. The Motorola has 121 privacy codes, IPX4 weatherproofing, shock resistance, and a rechargeable NiMH pack rated up to 12 hours. The Cobra gives you four radios, NOAA alerts, and simple controls, but owners report range falling well short of the 16-mile claim, often under a mile in woods.

• Choose the Cobra RX100 4-pack if you want four simple radios for kids, a party, or the neighborhood and do not need weatherproofing.
• Choose the Motorola Talkabout T475 Extreme if you hike, camp, or work outdoors and want privacy codes, weatherproofing, and rechargeable power.
