Cobra HH500 Floating Bluetooth VHF Radio - The unique Bluetooth feature of the HH500 allows the user to pair it with a mobile phone and then make and receive calls via the VHF, meaning that you can keep your mobile phone safely down below. The radio features Cobras exclusive Rewind-Say-Again feature - If you miss a message, you can replay the last 20 seconds of the previous transmission at the touch of a button, plus, if you accidentally drop it overboard it will float! It also features a noise-cancelling microphone, 1, 3 & 6W output for clearer communication and the “Burp” feature vibrates water out of the speaker grill to improve speaker performance.

Its sole use is for sea kayaking so there were a few requirements for me i.e. Compact size, waterproof, floating, LMH output up to 6W, AA battery back up, tri watch, burp feature. I'm happy to say the Cobra easily ticked all of the boxes and a whole load more too. It's already had a week's worth of use at sea where it was put through its paces and proved to be a great safety asset. Although I didn't use the Bluetooth connectivity I will be using it on future trips. After the order was placed the radio arrived on time. In summary it's an ideal piece of equipment for sea kayaking at an excellent price and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Good size, weight and functionality. User friendly. Triband search, bluetooth and spare AAA battery holder are why I chose this model. Rechargeable battery is secured in place with screw (unlike older models). Only downside is that I am not sure how to replace rechargeable battery when it finally depletes. Not sure if Force4 stock spare batteries?
