Description

RT97P UHF DMR Repeater and E1 Explosion Proof Radio Kit

This bundle pairs the Retevis RT97P, a mini portable UHF DMR repeater, with six MateTalk E1 explosion proof two way radios. The repeater widens coverage for crews spread across refineries, fuel terminals, and processing plants, while the handhelds are built for gas and dust hazards with IP68 sealing. DMR and NXDN operation lets one fleet serve mixed digital systems, and single, group, and all call types keep daily work and emergencies moving. That enhances both operational coordination and safety.

RT97P Mini Portable DMR Repeater

The RT97P repeater suits solar-powered sites that need low power draw and a small footprint. Its portable case makes it a practical repeater for farms, camps, and emergency preparedness stores, and it moves between vehicles when a project changes location.

Customizable Frequencies

TX and RX frequencies can be customized within UHF 400-470 MHz or VHF 136-174 MHz. When ordering a customized repeater, note four items at checkout: RX frequency, TX frequency, offset (5-12 MHz), and charger type. Custom units ship about four weeks after your frequency details are confirmed.

Mini and Portable Size for Field Sites

The kit ships in a 310×283×170 mm package weighing under 3 kg, small enough to carry to a hilltop, roof, or vehicle mount without extra equipment.

Car Charger and AC Power Options

The RT97P is built into a cable TV amplifier box, giving it a rugged, water-resistant shell for field duty. Two power adapters are included: a 12V/24V cigarette lighter plug for vehicles and an AC adapter for base use.

Solar, Vehicle, and DC Charging Methods

Power the RT97P from DC 12-24 V mains, a vehicle outlet, or a solar battery, so the repeater keeps running at off-grid sites where mains power is unavailable.

Dual Mode: Digital and Analog Radios

Both digital and analog model workable. You can use it to expand the communication range of not only digital radio, but also analog radio.

FAQ

The default bundle ships one RT97P DMR repeater and six MateTalk E1 explosion proof radios, plus an FRP antenna, coaxial cable, AC and car power adapters, and a programming cable. Larger tiers add 10, 20, or 50 E1 radios, with optional speaker mics or earpieces on the 10 and 20 radio packs.

Yes. The E1 runs DMR-TDMA, which splits a 12.5 kHz channel into two time slots for double talk capacity, and NXDN-FDMA, which uses 6.25 kHz channels to fit more users on the same spectrum. No extra NXDN licenses are required for those channels.

The E1 is engineered for gas and dust hazards with an IP68 sealed housing, and Retevis markets it as an explosion proof radio for refineries and chemical plants. Specific certification numbers for this model are not listed on the page, so request the certificates from our team before your compliance review.

The E1 is an explosion proof radio with DMR and NXDN support and an IP68 housing. The E2 is an intrinsically safe DMR radio published with IECEx and ATEX certificate numbers. If your site mandates certified equipment, check the E2 page; if you need NXDN compatibility, the E1 is the matching handheld.

Yes. TX and RX frequencies can be customized within UHF 400-470 MHz or VHF 136-174 MHz. Note your RX frequency, TX frequency, offset (5-12 MHz), and charger type when ordering. Custom units are built about four weeks after your frequency details are confirmed, and the settings stay fixed afterwards.

Three ways: DC 12-24 V power, a vehicle 12/24 V cigarette lighter plug, or a solar battery. The kit includes both an AC adapter and the car plug, so the repeater can move between a base room, a vehicle, and an off-grid solar site.

No fixed mileage applies. Range depends on antenna height and gain, coaxial cable loss, terrain, buildings, and the handheld's output power. With the repeater and FRP antenna mounted high and in the open, coverage can span a large plant; inside dense structures expect much less. Survey your site before fixing coverage targets.

The 2450 mAh battery fully charges in about 4 hours and delivers over 24.5 hours of digital runtime on a 5/5/90 transmit-receive-standby cycle, with up to 76 hours of standby. A power-saving mode stretches multi-day rotations between charges.

Three call paths: single call for one-to-one contact, group call for team collaboration, and all call for site-wide emergencies. Pre-set SMS messages such as 'Leak Alert' or 'Evacuation Done' can also be sent silently where sparks or noise make voice calls risky.

Triple alarms: an emergency alarm you trigger, a lone worker alarm that fires if you stop responding, and a man-down alarm that detects a fall. In hazardous environments these alerts reach nearby crews immediately so a rescue can start without waiting for a headcount.

Yes. The E1 supports ARC4, AES128, and AES256 encryption, so maintenance, incident, and security traffic stays private. Set the same encryption keys across your fleet and repeater before deployment.

A chemical plant told us their Motorola XPR3300e fleet is being discontinued and asked for a digital replacement on a repeater system. The RT97P and E1 kit is a digital DMR path with explosion proof handhelds. Send us your frequencies and talk plans so we can confirm compatibility before you switch.

IP68 means the housing is fully dust-tight and waterproof to a depth of 1 meter for up to 1 hour, and the radio is drop-resistant. The ABS and PC shell is built for plants where radios get knocked around, hosed down, or coated in dust.

The 6-radio option is labeled RT97P, while the 10, 20, and 50 radio options are labeled RT97 on the page. The body text and images describe the RT97P throughout, so we treat the RT97 labels as a template error, but confirm the shipped model with our team before ordering a large tier.

SFR mode boosts the radio's coverage footprint for extended range across large or obstructed hazardous sites, helping signals reach areas where walls, tanks, or pipework would normally block them.

Remote Kill lets an administrator remotely disable a lost or stolen radio and lock it against further use. For plants with expensive fleets and controlled areas, it protects both the hardware and the communications security of the site.

The E1 stores preset text messages such as 'Leak Alert' or 'Evacuation Done'. Sending them silently avoids creating sparks or noise in combustible environments and lets crews acknowledge instructions without speaking over noisy machinery.

A superheterodyne receiver offers higher sensitivity, stronger selectivity, and reduced interference. In practical terms, E1 audio stays clearer in electrically noisy plants where pumps, drives, and welders would garble weaker receiver designs.

No. NXDN-FDMA uses narrow 6.25 kHz channels to maximize capacity for more users without extra licenses, per the product materials. DMR-TDMA likewise doubles capacity on a standard 12.5 kHz channel. Regular radio licensing for your region still applies.

The page's document section currently shows no downloads for this bundle. Contact our support team for datasheets, frequency templates, or the E1 compliance certificates, and we will send the current files directly.

The E1 speaks standard DMR, so mixing with an existing DMR fleet is possible. Before deployment, confirm the frequency band, color code, time slots, and talkgroups with our team so the handhelds join your repeater network correctly instead of operating as an isolated set.

Each E1 comes with a charging cradle and recharges in about 4 hours. The repeater side includes an AC adapter and a 12/24 V car plug, and can also run from solar power, so handhelds and the network can stay up through multi-day incidents.
