 About as Useful as a Rock January 25, 2008
One mile. That is what the Cobra site says is how far you can expect to transmit with this item under optimum conditions, (meaning flat unobstructed terrain). I could probably yell that far. I don't know what these other reviewers are thinking, (or smoking). I am waiting for my return authorization number. Be forewarned.
Not worth the money January 18, 2008
I bought this for my 20yr old son and believe me if I had my way I'd send it back. Very poor reception and he can hardly use it. I paid $83.00 for nothing.
 Thanks December 30, 2007
Thank you very much for this item. It served great as the holiday gift this year. Everything was in working order and my brother-in-law loved it. I hope to purchase from you again!

I can't believe people are giving this thing a good review. They are either technical geniuses, and have modified the unit, or are Cobra employees.
I bought three of these, used the magnet external antenna, and all three produced a 3/10 of mile line of sight transmission range. Motorola "talk-about" radios work better than this, and with no external mount.
The only thing this is good for is monitoring truckers while driving.
The 'sound tracker' is a joke... just a fancy equalization adjustment.
Looking into a permanent under dash unit instead.
Waste of $$ August 12, 2007

I thought this would be fun for my daughters on our freeway road trips. We couldn't even get one reception with trucks passing us in the next lane. Total waste of $$.
