CNET Review
The Good: Healthy range; strong battery life; weather alerts.
The Bad: Vox feature not included; awkward design.
The Bottom Line: The Cobra FRS 315WX may not be the most attractive two-way radio available, but its strong performance and extra features make it a good value.
Manufacturer: Cobra Electronics
Part number: FRS315WX
