My FRS radios including model number question

Hi everyone! I have been a fan of FRS radio since the summer of 2008, and I thought I’d list all the models of FRS radios I either currently or have previously owned here. I enjoy comparing the roger beeps and call tones of the different radios.

Cobra CX312, ACXT645, RX680
Midland LXT345, LXT460, XT511, GXT1000, T71, T75
Motorola T9500, EM1000, MR350R, T482, T800
Uniden GMR-1438

I also owned a pair of FRS watches at one point, but I can’t remember the brand or model number.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Cobra RX680 which has a lot of the features of several older radios I’ve had, along with an incredibly unique set of call tones. I’ve had those for a couple months now, and they work really well!

There is one Midland and one Cobra radio I’ve had since 2008, but I’ve been unsuccessful in finding the model numbers. If anyone can help identify these models, I’d really appreciate it!


The model number is usually on the back side of the radio inside the battery compartment. The Cobra looks like a CXR925, although the speaker grill was black instead of silver. My guess is it is an Li7500 Wx.

The Midland appears to be a GXT-735.
