CrossRidgers Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 I did a bit of research on the Garmin rino's. There are 2 models- the 110 which is FRS and there is the 120 which is the FRS/GMRS. They are indeed compatable with any other FRS or GMRS radios. FYI- the GPS unit on the 120 is similar to the Legend unit but with a better antenna. Very cool gadgets. -CrossRidgers Quote Link to comment
Bagbug Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 What about all the screens available on the Rino ? Compass ? Speedometer ? etc... Thanks Quote Link to comment
+ClayJar Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Just remember that GMRS costs money for the license, too, eh? Quote Link to comment

I am far more inclined to believe that it is a GMRS radio. GMRS shares the bottom 7 channles with FRS. Respectfully, AtP Quote Link to comment
Team Dragon Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Since a GMRS enabled device runs at a higher wattage than an FRS device, thus the license requirments, the Rino will be able to talk to other FRS radios. If the other device is too far away for the lower wattage transmitter, the Rino may not get the signal back. The frequency inversion that is used to "encrypt" communication between FRS devices is usually manufacturer specific so this would be something to be tested once the Rinos come out and probably avoided except with other Rinos. Remember, the FCC license is required for any device with the capability to use GMRS, no matter if you are only using the FRS channels. Not getting the license is breaking the law and there are people who look for pirates as a hobby. Quote Link to comment

Respectfully, AtP Checkout http://www.garmin.com/products/rino/index.html There are several FRS/GMRS radios on the market. The peer-to-peer functionality is only for the FRS band. I think I heard somewhere that GMRS prohibits data transfers on this band other than voice. Hope this helps. CrossRidgers Quote Link to comment
