Repeater Channels
This device can use GMRS repeater channels in the US, and
CBRS/PRS repeater channels in Australia and New Zealand.
GMRS repeater channels are not available in Canada.
Repeater channels use repeaters, when available, to enable
communication around obstacles or increase transmission
distance. Position reporting is not allowed by the FCC on GMRS
repeater channels.
Peer-to-Peer Positioning
You can send your location information to other Rino users
using peer-to-peer positioning. Through peer-to-peer
positioning, you can also track the movement of other Rino
users on the same channel and code, and navigate to their
locations.
Peer-to-peer positioning is enabled by default, and your position
information is sent to other Rino users on the same channel and
code when you press the PTT key (push-to-talk) or the
key
(call).
NOTE:
You can send location information only once every 30
seconds, due to FCC restrictions.
After you send location information, the icon changes to a
countdown timer so you know when location information can be
sent again.
