Bright, Floating Design Saves Radios Dropped Overboard

BRIGHT, FLOATING DESIGN SAVES RADIOS DROPPED OVERBOARD

       Now when a VHF radio accidentally falls overboard, it's not permanently lost.  Featuring an easy-to-spot orange core and floating design, the MR HH330 FLT and Bluetooth®-equipped MR HH475 FLT BT Floating Handheld VHF radios from Cobra Marine, a division of Cobra Electronics, make retrieving a radio from the water easy.

       Cobra's most powerful handheld radios, these models operate with 6 watts of power, enabling long-range communication.  A noise-canceling microphone blocks background noises, such as wind and engine sounds, for clearer conversations.

These units are incredibly compact for floating VHFs and fit nicely and comfortably in an owner's hand.  They have simple controls and a large LCD screen provides effortless viewing.  Improving performance in extreme conditions, the handhelds offer a unique "BURP" feature, vibrating water out of the speaker grill.

The MR HH475 FLT BT incorporates patent-pending MicroBlue™ technology so users can conduct cell phone calls using Bluetooth® wireless capabilities.  Adding convenience, it also includes Rewind-Say-Again to record and replay up to 20 seconds of a call.

The Floating Handheld Line offers 24-hour, instant access to NOAA's national All Hazards and weather information, as well as channel 16 for emergencies.  Tri-Watch allows users to monitor three channels at a time, while the Scan feature can run through all channels or those programmed into memory to find active conversations.

Each unit comes with a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, locking desktop charger with AC/DC adapters and a spring-loaded, swiveling belt clip.  Cobra Marine's MR HH330 FLT retails for $129.95.  The MR HH475 FLT BT is $179.95.

Cobra Marine is a leading designer of mobile communication products for the marine industry.  Products include handheld and fixed VHF radios, such as exclusive Rewind-Say-Again™, All-Terrain-Radio and Micro-Blue™-equipped systems.
