Setup Radio
The Setup Radio option displays the Radio Setup Page.
This page determines how the radio functions and enables
you to adjust the radio operation to your needs. The
following options are available:
Send Location—Enables/disables the peer-to-peer
positioning feature. See the “Peer-to-Peer” section for
more on this feature.
Allow Polling—Enables/disables your Rino 520/530’s
ability to respond to a polling request from another Rino.
GMRS Power—Use this to set the power level used
to transmit GMRS channels (1-7, 15-22 and repeater
channels 15R-22R, if applicable) 1/2 watt is used for
FRS channels 7-15. If the battery is too low to support
the higher power levels, it automatically decreases the
transmit power and sends a notification message.
Scramble—Adds a level of privacy to your
conversations. When On, the voice transmission sounds
garbled to other non-scrambled Rino units, as well as
other third party radios.
NOTE: When Scramble is set to On, in order for
peer-to-peer and Send Location features to work, the
receiving radio must have Scramble enabled also.
Repeater Channel—Use this option to turn On/Off
GMRS repeater channels 15R–22R. Repeater channels
use repeaters, when available, to enable communication
around obstacles that normally block transmission and
can increase tranmission distance. GMRS repeater
channels are not available in Rino units sold in Canada.
