We need a Walkie Talkie that will work well in our business. Most of our walls are made of concrete brick. Will the Cobra CXT125 work in our building?

Our school uses these both in the concrete building as well as on the playground. We even use for our crosswalk duty that is almost a 1/4 mile away. We also took to camp, and they worked well even when all of the groups were spread out.

I am working for a Dealership and we bought 8 of these. It's been a couple of months and some of them broke at the connector/charge, so they're useless, they are made of cheap plastic. Maybe it's ok for your house or for personal use, but not for business. They pretty much suck, I thought I was gonna save some money for the company but now I will have to buy Motorola. I am ordering 6 Motorola's by the end of this week...

We bought 8 of these to use while working a Festival which was mostly outdoors, we had one stationed in a metal building a block away and reception and transmission appeared the same. Hope that helps.

Yes It Will, I bought Them for Where I work and they work both in our warehouse (that has Concrete Walls) as well as in the store front. Even across the street @ the Bank

I don't know for sure, but we noticed when we get close to the office with all the computers and routers thet get fuzzy. Our buildings are wood walls and they work great in the building and to the other building next door. Good luck

Yes I have done that. It works but remember the CB radio wave length works best when there is no obstruction. A straight shot to the other unit. Also, you only have about 5 miles before you loose contact with the other CB. It's not a cell phone by any means.

New tech. Are you receive ing good reception? This Cobra is the best I've had and I've had few

Are we talking brick and mortar or wood structure. A standard home made with wood joist and the like should be fine, in my opinion. I have a Onelink unit on the second floor, two on first and one in the basement. I do not seem to have any problems with the units communicating.

It depends on what you're actually expecting, but it makes several sounds that I would qualify as "buzzing." The built-in soundboard is basically as 90s cell phone. Jingle Bells, Fur Elise, generic ringers and some beeps. There are like 15-20 total. Be aware, though, this isn't strong enough to go through walls. Don't expect it to go through bricks to control your fire from upstairs. If you plan on using it like you'd use a TV remote, it may have enough range to work though!

Yes! We use it on our office so we can go in the back and not worry about someone walking in unaware. It sounds great and the battery in the push-button has lasted well over 2 years now. Enjoy it!

Yes, however, with my setup, the audio alerts from Cobra do not come through (radar only). I get a screen popup, but no sound.

I don't know. I had the BT215 and had a lot of problems with it. Had it replaced once and still had problems. I purchased a XLinkBTTN B07 about two years ago and it works great. Slight hesitation when answering but about the same as the Cobra.

I have mine in the family room and it has to go through a brick wall that surrounds the patio as well. Once in awhile it does not go off. But other than that it works great. But it should work if its not to far from the transmitter.

Simple. You need a two channel transmitter. Futaba is a popular brand. You will need a battery . 7.2 volt any where around 3500mah will give a good run time. Duratrax makes a good quality battery. Then last by not least. A charger.The simpler the better especially new to the hobby. You can find all of these items easily on Amazon or ebay. Towerhobbies.com s a gorgeous resource as well. If you need help just let me know. I am glad to help out now R/C people. It's a fun hobby.-Matt

@Mike: If you Connex is 4-pin (which I've researched, and it is 4-pin) then this mic should work without a need to re-wire it. You're best bet is to compare the current mic wiring diagram for any 4-pin mic interface on the Cobra radios and ensure that they are identical to that of the Connex. If they are, there should be no problem! If there is a difference, then there may be a need to re-wire the mic. Let me know how it works out for you! - Chris S.

It should work ok but Cobra will be the best to answer this question. They are good with responses and should respond quickly... regards

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.

I tried mine with speaker in basement and transmitter upstairs with no problems. It will depend on wall construction.

We did not have a problem with the external speaker but we did have a problem with the cobra CB. Unable to return to amazon and had to put it in the shop. Found a loose wire repaired and has worked fine since.

I used it for a two bedroom Apartment and it worked great. I imagine it works in a mansion with 20 rooms so long as the walls are not made of steel or brick. I think one review someone had a problem in a upstairs house but most of the reviews I read stated it worked fine. Some folks stated that they got the call from outside the house every time. I could not afford a super alarm system and the price I could not beat. Not certain what your walls are made of or how far the rooms are from your living room etc. but these are designed to do the job. Like I stated I had no problems. One review stated that the pager worked great in their 1400 square foot house, so there you have it! I used it for a two bedroom Apartment and it worked great.

I think the answer is whether your individual devices will remember the Cobra, and the answer is yes they will. I use it with my phone and my laptop, and my son uses it with his iPod with no trouble at all.
