Using the Rino 520/530 Radio
Features
Your Rino 520/530 unit provides many features to
enhance your radio experience, such as transmitting
your location or any location and receiving contact
information. This section reviews some of the advanced
radio features. Refer to the “Features” section for
information on all of the features of the Rino 520/530.
Peer-to-Peer Positioning
The Rino 520/530’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 the “Setup Radio” section) and a GPS position,
whenever you press and release either the Call button or
the Talk button, the Rino 520/530 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 520/530 can respond to
polling requests from other units more frequently.
To transmit your location to other Rino users:
1. Enable Send Location (see “Setup Radio”).
2. Press and release either the Talk or Call button.
A bright flag on the Status Bar indicates the unit
is ready to transmit its position. A dimmed flag is
waiting for the 30 second delay to expire.
New Contact Page Overview
The first time that a signal is received from another Rino
user, a New Contact page is displayed. From the New
Contact page you can show their location on your Map,
Go To their location, or select OK to add it to the Contact
List. Press the Page/Quit button to disregard the
contact.
