    Garmin Rino 650 compatibility

    I have a Garmin Rino 650 and am having trouble talking to others using uhf.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem

    Is it an AU/NZ specd one? We use different frequencies to the US.

    Are the other UHFs 80 channel units? If they're a bit older, they may only be 40 channel, which doesn't line up quite the same.

    Unit is NZ new.
    They can hear me but I cannot hear them. I do hear like a carrier wave at the start of their tx but no voice signal
    Other units seem newish

    Check your settings. Turn on off the mute button, check and recheck. I had the issue and found this happened one time

    Mine work with several their types of radio including the cheaper models.

    You might not be hearing them because your volume is on mute.

    Press On button and let go.

    Then turn you volume up.

    I think the rhino automatically mutes when it is switched on.

    What channel are you using?
    If the other units are newish, like you say, then they are very likely to have ctcss. If you are not on the exact same channel settings, then you will only get a one way converstation
    I am no expert, and am happy to be corrected .

    That is a repeater channel. (476.4750)
    Suggest you go to a general chat chan such as 10. Leave all ctcss off as it is only there to scramble for security really
