Will SRT97Reviewed on Feb 23,2022Very happy with repeater. Huge improvement on radio range. Super easy to program. We use this at our base camp while camping and off reading. Would buy another one if the need ever came up. Great customer service as wellScott JohnstonGreat repeaterReviewed on Feb 02,2022I bought this repeater for when we go camping off the grid. I've tried it a few times a think the build quality is excellent. I look forward to many years of use.RichardGreat for portable/camp base GMRSReviewed on Jan 18,2022After a good deal of research into duplexers and dual radio setups, I came across this compact repeater housed in a line amp enclosure. I'm glad I did. It's not too expensive, and it just does the job. It's a well designed and built unit. I don't bang it around, but it lives in an environment where it gets moved. No failures or detuning encountered after months of use, sometimes on bouncy roads. It arrived tuned up well for the frequencies (channels) I'll be using for my family. I didn't have to tweak anything. Programming was dirt simple on MS Windows. (Use a free 3-month "Windows Edge Developer" VM from MS if you normally run Linux or macOS) The programming cable worked flawlessly. Software is a little clunky on scrolling due to older Windows support, but is fully functional. Split tones were very easy to enter. This RT97 mostly lives in my car with an externally hard-mounted GMRS-tuned antenna (SWR 1.08). It reliably supports multi-vehicle road trip rest stop comms when we're between 5-15 km (3-9 miles), w/ mag-mount antennas for HTs. It lives at base camp when we're out hiking or summiting peaks, w/ Nagoya or Smiley antennas on HTs. In testing, we had over 45 km (28 miles) clear conversations when on a hill overlooking a wide valley with clear line of sight. Certainly could have gone further. The only reason I'd replace this is to get the new version being sold now. Oh, and shipping was quick. Don't let DHL's tracking weirdness worry you; it's closer than you thinkRay SotoGreat Job Retevis!!Reviewed on Nov 17,2021Staff was great.
