using the same channel. Simply select the same squelch
code (number) as selected by the other person(s) you
desire to communicate with. NOTE: Squelch codes do
not cause your conversation to be private. They only
allow you to fi lter out other users on the same chan-
nel, so you only hear the radios you want to. Squelch
Codes are not a scrambling system! Setting the code to 0
(squelch code off) will allow you to hear all activity on the
selected channel, but you must be set to the same code
as the other person(s) to transmit back. See Appendix H
for a table listing all of the 38 Squelch Codes and their
frequencies.
As you change the main channels, the Rino will
remember the last channel/squelch code combination
that you were using. For example, you may set the unit
to Channel 5, squelch code 21, then change the main
channel to 8 and that code to 2. If you change the chan-
nel back to 5, the squelch code will change back to its
previous setting of 21.
See Appendix A for more information on FRS/GMRS
and its operational aspects.

Scan and Monitor - Overview
The ‘Scan’ option allows you to scan through the
available channels for voice activity. As the unit scans and
receives a signal (or if you transmit), it will stop on that
channel/code for a few seconds, then continue scan-
ning. You may also use the Set Scanlist option to pick
which channels/codes to scan. Since it can take time to

to zero will allow you to
hear all transmissions
on that channel, but you

to radio back.
The Code fi eld will go

scanning channels.
