RB48 Pro Heavy Duty Long Range Walkie Talkie + RT97L GMRS Repeater: Long Range Radio Solution

Complete Industrial Communication Solution – Strong Penetration, Extreme Long Range

The RT97L + RB48 Pro bundle provides a complete communication system for demanding industrial environments. On construction sites, in manufacturing plants, and across large job sites, standard two-way radios lose contact when signals must pass through concrete walls, steel structures, and dense materials. Dead zones create safety risks, reduce productivity, and leave workers isolated.

This system addresses those challenges by combining a 25W GMRS repeater with rugged 10W heavy-duty walkie-talkies. The RT97L repeater receives and rebroadcasts handheld transmissions, extending coverage through concrete, steel, and multi-story structures. Whether your team is spread across a large construction site, inside a multi-level manufacturing facility, or working in remote areas of an industrial complex, every member stays connected with clear audio.

RB48 Pro 10W Heavy-Duty Walkie Talkie

  • High Power Output for Maximum Penetration

The RB48 Pro delivers 10W of adjustable transmit power, providing the signal strength needed to penetrate concrete walls, steel reinforcement, and dense building materials. Switch between high, medium, and low power settings to match your environment and conserve battery life.

  • Industrial-Grade Durability

Built to withstand demanding job site conditions with an IP67 waterproof rating - fully submersible up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Full dustproof protection keeps out concrete dust, drywall particles, and fine debris. Drop-tested to survive 2-meter falls onto hard surfaces, so the radio keeps working after accidental drops.

  • Extended Battery Life for Double Shifts
    Equipped with a 2800mAh high-capacity battery delivering 18+ hours of continuous use - enough to cover full double shifts without recharging. The ten-way multi-unit chargers included in this bundle recharge up to ten radios at the same time.
  • AI-Powered Noise Cancellation
    Advanced audio processing filters out background noise from heavy machinery, power tools, wind, and crowds, keeping communications intelligible in loud industrial environments.
  • Emergency Alarm System
    One-touch activation triggers a loud siren and broadcasts emergency alerts to all team members - a safety feature for hazardous job sites where rapid response matters.
  • NOAA Weather Alerts
    Built-in NOAA weather monitoring keeps outdoor crews informed of approaching severe weather, so supervisors can make timely safety decisions.
  • Anti-Loss Secure Design
    A reinforced belt clip and lanyard attachment points reduce the chance of losing the radio during active work, and the rugged housing keeps a secure grip when hands are wet or gloved.

RT97L 25W Portable GMRS Repeater

  • 25W High Power for Extended Coverage

The RT97L operates at 25W output power, extending the coverage of your RB48 Pro handhelds across large facilities and open outdoor areas. A switchable low power mode saves energy when full power is not required.

  • Industrial-Strength Weather Protection
    The IP66 waterproof rating withstands heavy rain, dust storms, and prolonged outdoor exposure. The all-aluminum alloy chassis dissipates heat efficiently, supporting 24/7 continuous operation - important for permanent installation on active job sites.
  • All-Climate Operation

The low-temperature heating system activates automatically at -15°C and maintains operation in freezing conditions down to -30°C, for winter construction projects and cold storage facilities. The repeater also operates reliably in high-temperature environments.

  • True Portability for Moving Job Sites
    Compact dimensions (11.2" × 7.28" × 2.68") and a 7.86 lb weight allow easy relocation as job sites change. Three power options - direct AC, 12-24V vehicle power, and solar panel input - enable deployment on urban sites or remote off-grid locations.
  • Simple On-Site Operation

The backlit LCD display shows frequency, channel, and sub-tone settings clearly. One-button channel switching and volume adjustment require no technical expertise, and scan and squelch settings are accessible directly from the front panel without software or programming cables.

  • 16 GMRS Channels with Programming Flexibility
    Full 16-channel GMRS operation with programmable options within ±5 MHz of the center frequency, so the repeater can be matched to your site's requirements and coordinated with existing radio systems.
  • Easy Installation
    A complete mounting bracket kit with screws is included. Mount on a wall for fixed installations or in a vehicle for mobile command centers - setup takes minutes with no specialized tools.

FAQ

The RB48 Pro is a 10W heavy-duty handheld with adjustable high/medium/low power, an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating (submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes), 2-meter drop resistance, a 2800mAh battery rated for 18+ hours of use, AI noise cancellation, a one-touch emergency alarm, and NOAA weather alerts.

The RT97L receives transmissions from the RB48 Pro handhelds and rebroadcasts them at 25W through its built-in duplexer and antenna. Because the repeater can be mounted high - on a roof, tower, or top floor - it extends coverage through concrete, steel, and multi-story structures that normally block handheld-to-handheld contact. Its 16 GMRS channels are programmable within +/-5 MHz of the center frequency to match your site.

Four configurations are available: the RT97L repeater with 10, 20, 50, or 100 RB48 Pro radios, paired with the matching number of ten-way multi-unit chargers (1, 2, 5, or 10). See the package details table above for the complete contents of each configuration.

Yes. The radios and repeater in each bundle are set up to operate together on matched channels out of the box. If you need specific frequencies or CTCSS/DCS tones for your site, contact Retevis support before ordering to arrange programming.

Handheld-to-handheld range for this class of radio typically runs from about half a mile in obstructed areas to a couple of miles in open terrain. With the RT97L repeater mounted high and in the open, coverage extends substantially - the 10-30 mile figure assumes elevated mounting and favorable terrain. Antenna height, gain, feedline loss, and building structure remain the biggest variables.

The RT97L operates on GMRS repeater frequencies, which require an FCC GMRS license in the United States. The RB48 Pro is a 10W radio, so its operating authorization depends on the frequencies it is programmed to - confirm your planned frequencies with Retevis support or a frequency coordinator before deployment.

Yes, provided the radios are programmed to matching frequencies and CTCSS/DCS tones. Retevis offers programming software and cables, and support can advise on compatibility with your current fleet before you order.

The RB48 Pro handhelds are IP67 rated - submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes - and drop-tested from 2 meters. The RT97L repeater is IP66 rated for heavy rain and dust, with an aluminum chassis supporting 24/7 operation and a low-temperature heating system that maintains operation down to -30°C.

Each bundle includes ten-way multi-unit chargers - one charger per ten radios (1, 2, 5, or 10 chargers depending on the configuration). Desktop charging bases and spare batteries for the RB48 series are also available separately.

Bundles are offered from 10 up to 100 RB48 Pro radios. A conventional repeater processes one transmission at a time, so for very large crews we recommend organizing users into channel groups so the repeater channel stays available for priority traffic.
