Using the Rino 120 Radio Features

Your Rino 120 unit provides many features to enhance your radio experience, such as transmitting locations and receiving contact information. This section reviews some of the advanced radio features. Refer to the “Features” section for information on the features of the Rino 120.

Peer-to-Peer Positioning

The Rino 120’s most unique feature is being able to send its location to another Rino, which is called Peer-to-Peer positioning. With peer-to-peer positioning enabled (see page 15) and a GPS position (see the “Initializing the Rino 120” section), whenever you press and release either the Call key or the Talk key, the Rino 120 automatically sends out its location. This information is available to all other Rino users that are monitoring the same channel and squelch code. This feature allows you to track the movement of other Rino users and even navigate to their location. Locations may only be sent once every 30 seconds due to FCC restrictions. Your Rino 120 responds to polling requests from other units more frequently.

To transmit your location to other Rino users:

1.Enable Send Location (see the “Setup Radio” section).

2.Press and release either the Talk or Call key. A flag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand indicates the unit is ready to transmit its position.
