Copy that. I haven't really looked at the Rino's (due to cost) for more than 5 years. My knowledge of them is likely outdated.

ETA: Just looked at the Rino 755T....."Communicate by voice call or unit-to-unit text messaging". Still cost a lot more than this Beartooth unit.

ETAA: To answer the OP's question as to whether anyone knows of any similar device, there is the goTenna Mesh (https://www.amazon.com/goTenna-Off-G...ateway&sr=8-10) -- while this does the texting, and location sharing via cell phone link, it doesn't look like it has the walkie talkie option. But then these are $175/pr verus Beartooth's $249/pr.
