Retevis RT600 RT600T DMR Repeater Trunking Transceiver

Retevis RT600 series comprises high-performance repeater solutions designed for professional wireless communications, covering both standard repeater and trunked system applications. The RT600 serves as a versatile digital repeater emphasizing compatibility and smooth migration, while the RT600T is engineered as the core of mission‑critical trunked networks, offering high reliability, large capacity, and advanced dispatch features. Both models share a robust IP‑based architecture and a software‑upgradable platform, catering to diverse needs from routine coverage to mission‑critical dispatch operations.

Auto Detection Between Analog and Digital Mode

RT600 can be configured to analog, digital, or mixed mode. In mixed mode, the repeater dynamically switches between modes automatically depending on received signal types; it offers compatibility with analog terminals to protect the legacy investment of devices. It is an easy way to migrate from analog to digital.

PSTN Interconnect 

Enables direct communication between radio users and analog/digital telephone systems. Through Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) analog devices and POTS connectivity, radio users can be linked to a PABX or PSTN network, supporting direct two-way voice communication across both platforms.

Outstanding Heat Dissipation

The unique cooling design combines a built-in heat pipe with three strategically placed fans for optimal heat dissipation. This design prevents overheating during sustained high-power operation, ensuring reliable 100% duty cycle performance at full output and supporting continuous, stable use in demanding environments.

IP Site Link Connection

The repeater supports IP site link connection for digital, analog mode, different bands (UHF/VHF) connection, and different modes (analog and digital) connection, enabling multiple repeaters across different geographical locations and frequency bands to connect via an IP network, allowing them to exchange voice, data, and control packets seamlessly. By linking repeaters over the internet, a wider-area communication network is formed, significantly extending radio coverage and enabling reliable voice and data communication between dispersed terminals over a broad region. It covers your need from single site deployment to sophisticated communication solution with IP connect multiple site installations.

Seamless Roaming Functionality

This system supports intelligent roaming, where a radio initially locks onto its currently connected repeater. Once the signal strength from that repeater falls below a set threshold, the terminal automatically scans for, evaluates, and switches to another stronger repeater signal, then re‑locks—ensuring continuous coverage and stable communication during mobility.

Dispatch System Compatibility 

When paired with compatible handheld terminals, this transceiver system enables comprehensive dispatch functionality, including backend recording, track playback, log queries, voice dispatch, SMS dispatch, and remote control, providing a fully integrated command and monitoring solution.
