The Rino has 22 channels (not including GMRS repeater 

channels) and 38 codes to select from using the Channel 

and Code fields. Channels 1–7 and 15–22 are GMRS 

channels, 8–14 are FRS channels, and 15R–22R are 

GMRS repeater channels (repeater channels are available 

on US units only and are disabled by default). To 

communicate with other Rino and FRS/GMRS users, stay 

on the same channel and code. Garmin Rino units work 

with third party FRS/GMRS radios, if the other radios 

are using standard FRS/GMRS frequencies. See the 

Appendix for a chart of Rino frequencies.
Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only specific 

persons. Thirty-eight (38) codes (called Continuous 

Tone Controlled Squelch System or CTCSS) allow your 

Rino to ignore unwanted calls from other people using 

the same channel. Select the same code (number) as 

selected by the other person(s) with whom you plan to 

communicate.
