RE: Rino radios
ORIGINAL: Highpower
A group of us bought the RINO 120's last year before elk season. The GPS works as well as any Garmin GPS (which is great), and the radios work as well as any of the portable radios out there. The FCC recently approved Garmin to allow position exchange in the GMRS freqs (check their websight). We are all very impressed with the units and the ability to poll the position of the other hunters is a real time saver. It's alot easier than loading in long/lat info to find you buddy. Having both the radio and GPS in one unit means not having to carry 2 units in you pack also.

I'll check that out.. thanks. Wonder if it'll just be a firmware uprade.
