Oh yea, there's another blurb about RINO's in the
README.Getting-Started file, but it's less detailed so probably
doesn't need much in the way of revisions.

The bit in the INSTALL file suggesting a RINO-120 for the XC-RINO is
probably out-of-date now, as the GMRS RINO's can now send the
position info at full GMRS power due to another STA that Garmin
filed with the FCC.  This means that for maximum range you should
have GMRS RINO's for every unit, and of course a GMRS license to
match, correct?
