Probable Cause
Talk key may not be fully depressed
FRS/GMRS Radio feature may not be on.
Incorrect channel/Squelch Code setting
Out of range or obstructions.
Natural or man-made obstructions can decrease
range.
You are on the same channel, but a different
Squelch Code.
Scramble option is enabled.
Too many users on channel or Squelch Code is set
to zero.
Radios too far apart or too close. Obstructions in
radio line of sight.
Interference from other electronics.
Could be one of a few things: Your view of the
satellite is obstructed and a GPS fix is not available.
Send Location is off. 30 seconds have not elapsed
since last location transmission. GPS is set to off.

Remedy
Press and hold Talk key until done talking.
Turn radio on.
Make sure other radios are on the same channel and Squelch Code.
Decrease distance between radios.
Decrease distance between radios or obtain a better line of sight
between radios.
If you are using Squelch Code zero (0), you will hear all transmissions
on that channel. Use the same Squelch Code (1-38) as the other party or
use Scan to find what Squelch Code they are on.
Both radios need to have this feature set the same (Rino 110 units do not
have voice scramble).
Switch to a different channel and/or Squelch Code other than zero
(1–38).
Keep radios at least 3 feet apart. Obtain a better line of sight between
radios.
Shut off other devices or move to a different area.
Move to a location with a clear view of the sky. Enable Send Location.
Wait 30 seconds between location transmission. Enable GPS.
Hold Page for 5 seconds to release keylock.
