Cobra CXT1045R-FLT Camo Review
Cobra Electronics has been a leading designer, marketer, and manufacturer of mobile communication products for over 50 years. During this 50 year span, they have led and paved the way for the launch of some of the most impressive walkie talkies on the market. Because of this, Cobra is a name that both professionals and hobbyists have grown to love and trust.
Within the last few years, Cobra has expanded its clientele base by introducing floating communication devices that have become incredibly popular among water sports enthusiasts. With the Cobra CXT1045R FLT, floating walkie talkie users who crave the serenity of being on the open water do not have to compromise their own security by being completely cut off from communication with those on land.
Cobra CXT1045R-FLT Camo Product Overview
The new Cobra Floating Walkie Talkie is the perfect communication companion for a day-long kayaking excursion through the rapids or a weekend hunting trip in the pines. Known for their safety and built-in weather alert features, these radios come pre-charged and immediately ready to use. Under optimal conditions, they can provide up to 37 miles of coverage, though like most consumer walkie talkies you should expect closer to a few miles in wooded, hilly, or otherwise. The belt clips are also very convenient, offering you the option to attach the walkies to your pants, backpack, or even on a jet ski or boat.
In addition, they come with orange rubberized grips that increase the durability of this product, but best of all is the fact that they maintain maximum performance even if they get wet. In fact, these devices are fully submersible, which means if they are accidentally dropped in water, they will float right back to the top.
- Up to 37 mile range.
- 22 channels with 121 privacy codes - 2662 channel combinations.
- 10-NOAA weather channels and alert.
- Waterproof and floating design.
Features
– The NOAA Weather Alert feature provides ten weather channels that provide up to date weather announcements regardless of the channel.

– The extended range signal allows for 2622 channel combinations and provides an additional layer of coverage for areas where reception is weak.
– The LED flashlight feature allows the device to function as a flashlight for dimly lit settings.
– The floating design and rubberized orange core grips make these radios easy to retrieve if they are dropped in water. They are fully water resistant as well.

– The Key Pad Lock feature prevents accidental setting changes and increases security since the intended user is the individual responsible for setting the pin number.
– The Scan feature allows users to locate other users within a specific channel.

The Cobra CXT 1045R uses NiMH rechargeable batteries that can be recharged via a USB cable or three AA batteries. They come with 6 AA NiMH Rechargable batteries.
