The Rino 120 is state-of-the-art GPS navigation and two-way communications combined, with enough memory to download detailed mapping for driving, hiking, hunting, fishing or just about anything else you can dream up.

It's waterproof and can "beam" your exact location to another Rino user on FRS or GMRS channels using "Position Reporting". The radio functionality of the Rino 120 provides two-way communications for up to two miles using FRS channels, 5 miles using GMRS channels, and you can talk to friends or family who own conventional FRSGMRS radios. There's also a voice scrambler and a vibration mode for silent calls.

The Rino 120 has a built-in basemap consisting of American road and highway detail, along with 8 MB of internal memory for downloading additional road, street, and points-of-interest data from MapSource® MetroGuide™, Fishing Hot Spots™, Topo, or BlueChart® CD-ROMs. The PC-interface cable also comes with the Rino 120.

Rino 120 Features:

  • WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
  • 22 communication channels: 1-14 FRS, 15-22 GMRS
  • 38 sub-audible squelch codes per transmission channel for semi-private radio communications
  • Transmit distance: up to 2 miles using FRS, up to 5 miles with GMRS (using GMRS frequency in the U.S. requires a FCC license)
  • External voice activation (VOX)
  • Ergonomic design for one-handed operation, with Call, Press-To-Talk (PTT), and Page mode buttons on the side, Power/Backlighting button on top, and Volume and Zoom buttons in front
  • Unique 5-way cursor for channel selection and volume adjustment in FRS/GMRS mode, and quick map panning, entering, and selecting functions in GPS mode
  • Voice scrambler and vibration mode for silent calls
  • Built in basemap consisting of American road and highway detail, along with 8 MB of internal memory for additional road, lake, marine, and points-of-interest data that can be downloaded from MapSource MetroGuide®, Fishing Hot Spots®, Topo, or BlueChart CDs

    Please note: Check your local radio agency for use outside the U.S. and Canada.

    Product Details Requires 5-7 business days to process. Keep in contact anywhere with Rino 120. This waterproof FRS/GMRS radio plus GPS navigator has a built-in basemap, voice scrambler and vibrate mode so you can stay in contact when you're out in the wild. Find Your Friends Rino 120 combines two-way radio and GPS features to help you keep tabs on others in your group. Using Rino's unique Position Reporting feature, you can send your exact location to other Rino users in your group, so they can see your precise location on the map page. And, because Rino is a standard FRS/GMRS radio, you can use it to communicate with any other conventional FRS/GMRS radio around. Stay Secure For extra-secure communication, Rino 120 can scramble your radio signal to secure it for your intended recipient. When you want to maintain silence, you can set your 120 to vibrate mode -- especially helpful when you're hunting that big buck. Add More Detail Rino 120 can save up to 500 of your favorite places in memory as waypoints so you can visit them later. The 120 also has a built-in Americas highway basemap and 8 megabytes (MB) of internal memory so you can load additional detailed maps from optional MapSource® products.
