USING THE RINO 130 RADIO FEATURES
Your Rino 130 unit provides many features to enhance your radio experience, such as trans-
mitting 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 130.
Peer-to-Peer Positioning
The Rino 130’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 you have a GPS position (see page 5 and 74-77), whenever you press and release
either the CALL button or the TALK button, the Rino 130 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 130 can respond to polling requests from other unit 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 button. 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, a ‘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.
