Is the Cobra ACXT1035R FLT really waterproof?

Yes. It carries an IP67 rating and floats, so it can be submerged briefly and still work.

Does it reach 37 miles?

Only in ideal open conditions. Expect a mile or two in woods, hills or buildings, like most FRS radios.

It runs on AAA batteries. Use good alkaline or rechargeable cells, since runtime depends on them.

Yes. It has NOAA weather channels with alerts, useful for storms and emergencies.

It records incoming transmissions so you can replay a message you missed.
