The Rino 520HCx or 530HCx is a FRS/GMRS radio
with a 12 channel GPS receiver. It has integrated radio
functionality to provide two-way communications for up
to two miles using FRS (Family Radio Service) channels.
The Rino also provides 15 high-performance GMRS
(General Mobile Radio Service) channels and 8 GMRS
repeater channels (US versions only) for communication
up to 14 miles.
NOte: GMRS channels are limited to 2 watts
of power when used in Canada. GMRS repeater
channels are not approved for use by the Canadian
government, so they are disabled on Rino 520HCx
and Rino 530HCx units sold in Canada.
The Rino has three user-selectable GMRS power levels:
0.5 W, 2.0 W, and 5.0 W (US versions only). Keep in
mind that FRS channels only transmit at 0.5 W. The Rino
has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with charger.
Fully charge the lithium-ion battery while attached to
the Rino prior to the first use to ensure accurate battery
capacity reporting. Follow the charging instructions in the
Rino Quick Reference Guide.
The unit contains a built-in North American basemap
that includes interstate and state highways and exit
information. The Rino uses MapSource ™ map data
software (not included). Using a microSD card, the Rino
can display a variety of detailed map data.
