Your Rino 530 unit provides many features to enhance 

your radio experience, such as transmitting your location 

or any location and receiving contact information. This 

section reviews some of the advanced radio features. 

Refer to the “Features” section for information on all of 

the features of the Rino 530.

The Rino 530’s most unique feature is being able to send 

its location to another Rino, which is called Peer-to-

Peer positioning. With peer-to-peer positioning enabled 

(see the “Setup Radio” section) and a GPS position, 

whenever you press and release either the Call button or 

the Talk button, the Rino 530 automatically sends out its 

location. This information is available to all other Rino 

users that are monitoring the same channel and squelch 

code. This feature allows you to track the movement 

of other Rino users and even navigate to their location. 

Locations may only be sent once every 30 seconds due to 

FCC restrictions. Your Rino 530 can respond to polling 

requests from other units more frequently. 

1.  Enable 

Send Location (see the “Setup Radio” 

section).

2.  Press and release either the 

Talk or Call button. 

A flag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand 

indicates the unit is ready to transmit its position.

The first time that a signal is received from another Rino 

user, a New Contact page is displayed. From the New 

Contact page you can show their location on your Map, 

Goto their location, or add them to your contact list 

(select OK). Press Page to ignore this contact.
