The Cobra RX685 is a pair of rugged UHF two-way radios aimed at hikers, campers, hunters and trail riders. It offers 60 channels with 121 privacy codes, NOAA weather alerts, VOX hands-free talk, a built-in LED flashlight and channel scan. The rechargeable 2000mAh battery is rated for up to 18 hours, and IP54 sealing handles rain and dust. Against basic blister-pack radios it adds weather alerts and rechargeable power; against higher-end GMRS models it lacks repeater use and advanced features, and the 40-mile claim only holds in open terrain.
