RINO (Radio Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors) combines a powerful two-way radio with a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver. RINO units provide two-way radio communication with a transmission range of up to 2 miles using FRS channels and up to 5 miles with GMRS. Features such as Peer-to-Peer Positioning allow a user to "beam" their exact location to another Rino user within a two-mile range using the FRS spectrum, while the RINO's polling feature will allow a user to manually request GPS location information from other Rino units.

What sets the Rino 130 apart from the Rino 110 and 120 are the built-in electronic compass, barometric sensor, weather receiver for seven NOAA weather channels with weather alert tones, and the 24 megabytes of internal memory. Unlike the graphic compass on the Rino 110 and 120, which requires movement to show a heading, the 130’s built-in electronic compass will give a heading while the user is standing still. The barometric altimeter provides extremely accurate elevation and pressure information, which could assist in identifying weather trends and best fishing opportunities.

FRS/GMRS Features
The Rino 130 supports 14 FRS channels, 8 GMRS channels, and 8 GMRS repeater channels. Users may select 1 of 38 sub-audible squelch codes for semi-private conversation. The Rino 130 provides the added feature of a voice scrambler and also vibration mode for silent calls.

GPS, Mapping Features
The Rino 130 has an integrated 12-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver. It has a built-in basemap of North and South America, and it accepts up to 24 megabytes of downloaded maps. Built-in map detail includes cities, highways, interstates, local thoroughfares and secondary roads within metro areas, interstate exit services, airports, rivers, lakes and coastlines. Using optional MapSource® CD-ROMs with the Rino 130, users can download additional maps providing features for topographic, bathymetric, street-level detail and much more. The Rino 130 can also be used with MapSource BlueChart®, MetroGuide®Canada and TOPO Canada CD-ROMs.
