Important Notice: 5.0 BETA Firmware
You have selected 5.0 BETA firmware. BETA firmware is a pre-release version that includes new features and improvements, while rare, BETA firmware could contain bugs or usability issues. Please consider the following information before proceeding:
What is BETA Firmware?
- Early Access: BETA firmware allows early access to new features that are not yet available in Stable Releases.
- Testing and Feedback: It is intended for users who are willing to provide feedback and help identify any bugs or issues.
- Potential Risks: There may be minor bugs, feature limitations, or performance issues.
Important Considerations
- Are you comfortable troubleshooting and reporting any issues?
- Do you understand the steps required to revert to a Stable Release if needed?
- Do you have time to update your firmware more frequently, knowing that some updates may require a wireless reprogrammer?
Recommended Action
If you are not familiar with BETA testing, we recommend selecting the Stable Release version instead for the highest level of stability and support. For more details on our firmware release process, please review our complete guide here. If you have questions or need further assistance, please reach out to our support team.
Dish Antenna
- $119.99
The dish replaces the standard antenna on the 18R or 18R2, and provides a +8 dBm gain. You can use the antenna on any COBRA device that uses an antenna. This translates to an additional 300 - 600 ft. (100 to 200m). Although your range is increased, the dish antenna can also be helpful for close range situations where you don't have direct line-of-sight, or you don't wish to raise your modules or antennas.
You can also use the dish antenna directly on your modules for situations where a single module may be a significant distance away. For example, you may use the standard antenna on the 18R or 18R2, and then use a dish antenna on the modules pointing in the direction of the shooter. This allows the standard 18R or 18R2 antenna (360 degree) to broadcast signal in all directions. Then, the module uses the dish antenna to point directly to the shooter and improve the quality of communications for that module only.
