I have two Garmin Rinho 110's. I bought them to data link to ground. Air

ground range seems to be about 15 miles. I have not tested air to air
range.

The tracks will transfer to a lap top on the ground, but not in real
time.(with
standard garmin software)

If anyone would like me to test anything specific let me know.


Is it legal to use them when they are transmitting air to air ? At least
in France, most frequencies used for ground to ground transmission are not
allowed to be used for air to air transmission.

It is legal in the US unless there is a specific prohibition in the FCC
regulations for that particular radio service. I believe the Rinho uses the
unlicensed PCS frequencies which (since they are unlicensed) are virtually
ungovernable. Even if it were illegal, the FCC field offices are few and
undermanned and have far more pressing matters to attend to.
