The Setup Radio option displays the Radio Setup Page. 

This page determines how the radio functions and enables 

you to adjust the radio operation to your needs. The 

following options are available:

Send Location—Enables/disables the peer-to-peer 

positioning feature. See the “Peer-to-Peer” section for 

more on this feature.
Allow Polling—Enables/disables your Rino 520/530’s 

ability to respond to a polling request from another Rino. 
GMRS Power—Use this to set the power level used 

to transmit GMRS channels (1-7, 15-22 and repeater 

channels 15R-22R, if applicable) 1/2 watt is used for 

FRS channels 7-15.  If the battery is too low to support 

the higher power levels, it automatically decreases the 

transmit power and sends a notification message.
Scramble—Adds a level of privacy to your 

conversations. When On, the voice transmission sounds 

garbled to other non-scrambled Rino units, as well as 

other third party radios.

Repeater Channel—Use this option to turn On/Off 

GMRS repeater channels 15R–22R. Repeater channels 

use repeaters, when available, to enable communication 

around obstacles that normally block transmission and 

can increase tranmission distance. GMRS repeater 

channels are not available in Rino units sold in Canada.
