Description

25W Portable RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater

The 25W Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater is designed to provide reliable, long-range communication in challenging environments. With its 25W high power output and advanced dual daisy chaining functionality, this repeater extends communication distances, ensuring seamless connectivity even in remote areas.

Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater Working Principle

When using the RT97L with custom frequencies, and corresponding handheld radios, the scan function is enabled when installing two RT97L radio repeater. During scanning, the system detects and receives the pre-set RF signals.

How Far Can the RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining Function Reach?

The RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining function can significantly extend communication range, but the exact distance it can achieve depends on factors such as terrain, antenna height, and the quality of the coaxial cable. Under ideal conditions, with good line-of-sight, high-quality antennas, and minimal interference, the system can extend the communication range up to 60 km. However, real-world performance may vary based on the specific setup and environmental conditions.

Why Choose the RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater?

The RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater offers several key advantages that make it an ideal choice for users needing reliable, long-range communication in challenging environments:

    1. Extended Coverage: The dual daisy chaining feature allows two repeaters to be linked together, expanding coverage over large areas, such as farms, construction sites, and emergency zones.
    2. Seamless Communication: It ensures uninterrupted communication, even in remote or obstructed locations.
    3. Powerful Performance: With 25W output, it provides robust, long-range communication, ensuring clear signals even over long distances.
    4. Easy Setup: Its plug-and-play design simplifies installation, making it accessible for both seasoned professionals and first-time users.
    5. Durable & Weather-Resistant: Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, it’s perfect for industries where reliability is crucial, like agriculture, construction, and emergency services.

The RT97L Dual Daisy Chaining Repeater is ideal for a variety of scenarios, including large farms and ranches, hunting grounds, wildfire rescue operations, and emergency communication during hurricane seasons in residential communities. Its ability to extend coverage and provide reliable, long-range communication makes it a perfect solution for these challenging environments.

How to Set Up the Dual Daisy Chaining System?

The entire process can be completed in just three simple steps:

  1. Set the Frequencies: Ensure that the transmit/receive frequencies of the two radios and two repeaters are correctly matched.

  2. Enable the Scanning Function: Both repeaters should enable dual-channel scanning to monitor and relay signals in real time.

  3. Connect the Antenna: The antenna must be connected before transmitting from the repeater to prevent damage to the equipment from an unloaded transmission.

FAQ

Yes, the speaker-microphone for the RT97S and RT97L are compatible and can be used interchangeably.

The RT97L antenna model is MA09, operating in the 462-467 MHz frequency range.

Height: 175 cm (approximately 5.74 feet)

Wind resistance: 50-60 m/s

Additional specifications:

VSWR (Standing Wave Ratio) < 1.5

Antenna gain: 7.2 dBi

Connector type: SL16-K

Material: Fiberglass

Yes, the 15-meter 50-3 Pure Copper Coaxial Extender Cable for RT97 will work with the RT97L. However, the RT97L’s antenna cable has been upgraded to 15 meters of 50-7 cable, which offers lower loss compared to the previous version.

Yes, the RT97L can be adapted to use an N-type connector. We recommend the following two options:

Use an adapter: This is the most cost-effective and preferred method. The adapter is inexpensive and ensures no signal loss.

Replace the connector yourself: If you choose to replace the connector, please ensure that you use coaxial cable with an outer diameter of 4mm. Be cautious, as improper replacement can damage the paint and affect the waterproofing.

The RT97L is pre-programmed with 16 GMRS channels, all set according to GMRS standards. The device includes dedicated GMRS repeater frequency points, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements. To enhance convenience, the first 8 channels are set for wideband operation, while the remaining 8 are set for narrowband operation. This allows users to easily switch between the two bandwidth settings without needing additional programming.

When you click "Read", a password input box will appear. You can directly click "close" to ignore it, or input 288288.
If you want to set a password, click "write", the first "password" is 288288, then enter your "New Password".

The difference in power can be significant. For example, using 5W of power, communication over a long distance might result in weak or no signal. However, with 25W of power, the range can greatly improve, allowing for clearer and more reliable communication over much longer distances.

While power is crucial, factors like antenna height also play an important role. In situations where elevation isn't favorable, higher power can be a big help in extending communication range.

The factory output is between 22W-25W. However, when operating with a duplexer, there may be power loss, reducing output to around 15W-22W, depending on the quality, thickness, and length of the feeder cable. 

For users operating with GMRS, the frequency range of the RT97L is:

TX (Transmit): 462.550 - 462.725 MHz
RX (Receive): 467.550 - 467.725 MHz
This range allows for effective communication and operation in the designated GMRS frequencies, which are crucial for users who need clear, uninterrupted signals.

The RT97L portable gmrs repeater is designed with flexibility in mind. By connecting the repeater to a Raspberry Pi via its DB-9 interface, users can expand the repeater's functions. This allows for easy programming and the ability to customize the repeater to fit specific needs, whether you’re operating in a particular area, enhancing security, or fine-tuning performance.

Receive Mode Absorption: 180mA
Transmit Mode Absorption: 5.5A

The RT97L gmrs mobile repeater is rated IP66 waterproof, meaning it can withstand powerful jets of water from all directions. This rating ensures that it performs well even in harsh weather or environments with heavy water flow. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity, it's always a good idea to install the repeater in a protected location, especially in areas with extreme weather conditions.

Yes, the RT97L portable repeater comes equipped with an internal duplexer, which is essential for enabling the repeater to work efficiently with an antenna. The duplexer allows the device to handle both transmit and receive signals simultaneously without interference.

The RT97L is capable of storing 16 different channels, which means it can quickly switch between up to 16 communication frequencies.

The duty cycle for RT97L repeater is 100%.

RT97S base station comes with a DB-9 port, which can be directly connected to the included speaker mic and is compatible with Raspberry Pi.

Because of the limitations on FRS by the FCC, this repeater can be only ued for GMRS radio, no mater handheld GMRS radios or Mobile GMRS radios.

Yes, the RT97L repeater is compatible with GMRS handheld radios that are repeater capable.
