It's an obvious idea of clear utility: standard handheld and fixed-mount radios that record everything automagically, at consumer-friendly prices. Loud boat engines and hard-to-decipher messages will no longer be a problem, according to Cobra Electronics press release, thanks to their Rewind-Say-Again radio, an all-terrain model that straddles VHF and GMRS two-way radio. It always keeps the last 20 seconds in mind, and repeating a misheard communication is accomplished simply by pressing a button.
The MR F80 B Rewind-Say-Again radio will be offered soon for $210. Cobra will be at the Miami Boat Show for the rest of this week.
