Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra' ■•1 ncîfîïîîTS wivki MRTÌ Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarine®VHF radio. Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you many years of reliable service. How Your CobraMarine VHF Radio Works This radio is a battery-powered portable transceiver for use afloat. It gives you two-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. With it, you can call for help, get information from other boaters, talk to lock or bridge tenders, and make radiotelephone calls to anywhere in the world through a marine operator. Besides two-way communications, the radio can provide quick access to receive all the NOM (National Océanographie and Atmospheric Administration) weather channels and alert you to weather emergencies with a tone on a weather channel you can select for your area.
