The 2008 microTALK line features the sleek, modern look that made the 2007 line so popular, along with the lithium ion technology first introduced in Cobra radios in 2006. The enhanced radios offer the maximum power allowed by law and the highest capacity batteries in the industry, as well as ranges of up to 27 miles and up to 3,124 privacy combinations. They ... offer other Cobra mainstays including VibrAlert(R) for silent alerts and SCAN for quick conversation location. The radios' features, design and price make everyday communication easier whether in the field, at the worksite, on the ski slopes or at the amusement park.

Some radios have the additional capability of connecting one radio transmitter to another to help the beginning pilot learn. This capability is sometimes known as a trainer or 'buddy box'. A cable connects two transmitters of the same brand and by using a switch on one, allows the other control. If the plane 'gets into trouble', the person helping teach the beginning pilot can release the switch and he or she regains control of the plane without incident. The only problem with this technique is that you need two transmitters of the same type as different brands of radios cannot usually be used together in this mode.

CB radios, on the other hand, are limited by FCC regulation to "4 watts of carrier power" and operate on the AM radio band. Many folks believe that this means that this type of radio is limited to a "maximum output of four watts" but according to Mark Pili, owner of Karl's C-B Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada, this is really a misstatement of what the standard is. He suggests that this four-watt standard actually applies to the output of a radio's "dead key" (that is the power that emanates from the radio when the mike button is depressed - with no voice modulation. The actual potential output from a 100% legal, stock, out-of-the-box CB radio at full modulation is much closer to 7 watts. By adjusting the potentiometer "pot" setting inside a CB radio, a technician can adjust this potential output upward to nearly 11 watts, and the "4-watt" radio will still be legal.

The FCC rules and regulations for CB radios are codified in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). They are initially published in the Federal Register. The FCC does not maintain a database of its rules nor does it print or stock copies of the rules and regulations. That task is performed by the Government Printing Office (GPO). After October 1 of each year, the GPO compiles all the changes, additions, and deletions to the FCC rules and publishes an updated CFR.

For this project, Nextel Brazil and Harris are working together to deploy TRuepoint 5000 radios across the entire Nextel Brazil network. While Nextel Brazil will be operating the TRuepoint on a PDH platform, the radio's SDH interface provides the option of migrating to a higher capacity capable of handling greater communication streams.
