CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2014) - Cobra Electronics

award-winning safety, outdoor and consumer electronics, today
announced the general availability of the Cobra CWR200 Emergency
and Weather Alert Radio, an all-purpose weather and emergency
preparedness radio that helps users to stay prepared, connected and

As recent severe weather-related disasters have shown,
preparedness is key in minimizing danger. The new Cobra CWR200 is
an All-Hazards-Alert portable weather radio with new weather alert
features that make it Cobra Electronics' most advanced all-purpose

tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, natural disasters, civil
emergencies and more. As well, the Cobra CWR200 features Specific
Area Messaging Encoding (S.A.M.E), allowing users to filter and
receive alerts concerning only their local area.
Cobra's CWR200 is a durable, All-Hazards-Alert weather radio
that has been designed with ruggedness and harsh conditions in
mind. The Cobra CWR200 helps outdoor recreationists or individuals
and families located in highly-active storm locations to stay
connected and informed of the environment around them. The Cobra
CWR200 can also be used as a preparation tool for when severe
weather strikes. Additional key features include:
- Three Level Alert LED Indicator: Bright LED flashes Red
(Warning), Orange (Watch) or Yellow (Advisory) depending on the
alert level
- TORNADO MODE Button: Limits or silences all alerts except for
tornados and other extreme emergencies
- USB Output and Smartphone Charging: Charges a mobile device
using the radios battery power and standard cable
- LED Flashlight: Illuminate your way with the built-in LED
flashlight no matter the lighting conditions
- Alarm Clock with Snooze: Helps stay on schedule if other
alerting devices fail
The Cobra CWR200 also includes a number of additional user
benefits, including a rubberized grip for traction in slick
environments, and an illuminated dot matrix LCD display for
ease-of-use when navigating through menus. As well, users receive a
set of AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, micro-USB A/C charger,
desktop charger and a wrist strap with purchase.
"Since minutes and seconds matter greatly in the event of severe
weather and emergency situations, a quick and simple way to stay
informed and connected is crucial for safety," said Sally Washlow,
president of Cobra Electronics. "We worked to provide our customers
with a powerful weather alert system that is easy-to-use, portable
and affordable; allowing users to stay safe, ready and prepared
during severe weather and emergency situations."
