The GPS reception on the RINO's is incredible, I get sat lock in my house. I couldn't believe when I booted up the units to upgrade the firmware, that they locked on almost every visible satellite with a 3 meter error cone. I don't know which chipset is in the RINO HCx units, but I'm more than happy with their performance in both dense cover and urban environments. These are awesome GPS radios and worth checking out for anybody that goes into the field with other people. The ability to send a position to another member of your party is incredibly useful. The melding of an FRS/GMRS radio with a high performance GPS is long overdue. The only complaint I have with the RINO's is that there is no way to automatically send a position from a unit, the polling feature somewhat compensates for this as does a VOX mic, however if auto update were available the radios could be used hands free.
