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.
New Contact Page Overview
The first time that a signal is received from another Rino
user, the New Contact Page is displayed. From the New
Contact Page you can show their location on your Map,
Goto their location, or add them to your contact list
(select OK). Press Page to ignore this contact.
