How Your CobraMarine
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.
Owner's Manual
Besides two-way communications, the radio can provide quick access to receive all
10 NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) weather channels
and alert you to weather emergencies on a weather channel you can select for your area.
