Select from FRS –, GMRS – & 5–22,
and 5R–22R GMRS repeater channels
(with repeater channels enabled).
NOte: Codes do not cause your conversation to be
private. They only allow you to filter out other users
on the same channel, so you only hear the radio(s)
you want to hear. Codes on are not a scrambling
.
Setting the code to 0 (code off) allows 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
the “Appendix” for a table listing all of the 38 codes and
their frequencies.
As you change channels, the Rino remembers the last
channel/code combination used. For example, you can
set the unit channel to 5 and code to 21, then change the
channel to 8 and code to 2. If you change the channel
back to 5, the code changes back to its previous setting
of 21.
