Channels and Codes
To communicate with other Rino® and GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the same channel.
Rino devices are compatible with third-party GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radios as long as the radios use standard GMRS or CBRS/PRS frequencies. A list of all frequencies used by this device is available in the product specifications (Radio Frequency Charts).

Squelch codes allow you to filter calls from other users on the same channel, so you hear only the radios you want to hear. The device has two different squelch modes, Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital-Coded Squelch (DCS). Calls on the channel that are not using the same squelch code in the same squelch mode are ignored.
