Setting the Channel and Squelch Code

The Rino 530 has a total of 22 channels (not including

GMRS repeater channels) and 38 squelch codes to select

from using the Channel and Code ﬁelds. Channels 1–7

and 15-22 GMRS channels, 8-14 are FRS channels, and

15R–22R are for GMRS repeater channels (repeater

channels are available U.S. units only and are disabled

by default). To communicate with other Rino and

FRS/GMRS users, you must be on the same channel

and squelch code. Garmin Rino units work with 3rd

party FRS/GMRS radios, provided the other radios

use standard FRS/GMRS frequencies. A chart of Rino

frequencies may be found in the “Appendix.”
Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only speciﬁc

persons. Thirty-eight (38) Squelch Codes (called

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System or CTCSS)

allow your Rino 530 to ignore unwanted calls from other

persons using the same channel. Simply select the same

squelch code (number) as selected by the other person(s)

with which you will communicate.

Select from FRS 1–14, GMRS 15–22

(with GMRS enabled), and 15R–22R

GMRS repeater channels (with GMRS

and Repeater Channels enabled).

NOTE: Squelch codes do not cause your conversa-

tion to be private. They only allow you to ﬁlter out

other users on the same channel, so you only hear

the radios you want to hear. Squelch Codes are not a

scrambling system!
