- Do I need a license to use the PX650?
- No. It is an FRS radio, so you can use it out of the box without an FCC license. It cannot use GMRS channels or repeaters.
- Is the 42-mile range realistic?
- That figure assumes open line of sight. Inside buildings, expect coverage across a few floors and around a large site, and less through concrete or steel.
- How long does the battery last?
- Cobra rates the 2000mAh battery at up to 18 hours. The six-dock charger tops all radios at once from one wall adapter.
- Can I use it in the rain?
- It carries an IP54 splash rating, so light rain and spills are fine. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged or left out in heavy rain.
- What comes in the box?
- Six PX650 radios, six swivel holsters, a six-dock charger, a USB charging cable and a wall power adapter.
- How does it compare with consumer two-packs?
- You get the same FRS channels and privacy codes, plus dock charging and holsters for a whole crew. You give up nothing in power, but you also get no repeater support or waterproofing.
