This Retevis RT97P DMR repeater is a game-changer for our remote construction site. Its portable design (under 3kg!) let us easily set it up on a high point, and the 10W high power output instantly extended our range. Now, the foreman in the office can clearly talk to workers at the far end of the site. The dual mode means it works with all our radios, old and new.
As a farm manager, communication across hundreds of acres was a nightmare. The RT97P solved it. We power it with a solar battery, so it runs 24/7 off-grid. The compact size is perfect for our barn, and the clear audio ensures no misunderstandings during harvest. It's incredibly reliable.
Perfect for our volunteer search and rescue team. We keep the RT97P in our go-bag. Its lightweight nature means no one minds carrying it. During drills, we use the car charger to set up a comms hub in minutes. It truly extends handheld DMR walkie talkie talking range in the mountains.
The customizable frequency option is what sold me. Our business uses a specific licensed frequency. Retevis customized the RT97P to match it perfectly. The process was smooth, and now we have a professional-grade repeater at a fraction of the cost of big brands.
This device bridges the gap between our old analog radios and new DMR units. The dual mode function is brilliant. The RT97P repeats signals from both types seamlessly, which saved us from needing two separate systems during our transition phase. Smart design.
I'm a ham radio enthusiast, and I use the RT97P to extend my DMR handheld's range from my home station. The LCD display makes monitoring status a breeze. It's surprisingly capable for its size and has become a key part of my shack.
Our security company patrols a large industrial complex. The RT97P installed in our central watchtower provides wider coverage than we ever had. The better signal quality of DMR means alerts and status reports are always understood the first time. A vital tool.
The rugged and water-resistant build is not just for show. Our RT97P has been mounted in an outdoor electrical box for months, enduring rain and dust. It hasn't skipped a beat. This durability is essential for any permanent outdoor installation.
Setting up the RT97P was remarkably simple. The instructions were clear, and the menu on the device is intuitive. I had it paired with our RT29D radios and working within 30 minutes, with no prior repeater experience. Highly user-friendly.
We operate a fleet of tour buses. Communication between drivers and dispatch was limited by distance. Installing a RT97P in the dispatch center, connected to a rooftop antenna, extended our communication range significantly. Now we have clear contact with every driver on the route.
The compact and lightweight design is a huge advantage. I can literally carry this repeater in a backpack along with a small battery and a roll-up antenna. For setting up impromptu communication at remote job sites, it's the perfect portable DMR repeater
As a campground owner, cell service is nonexistent here. I set up the RT97P as a community repeater for guests and staff. The multiple power options allowed me to choose a solar setup, making it cost-effective to run. Guests love being able to stay in touch on the trails.
I purchased the RT97P to enhance communication for our neighborhood watch during storm season. The extended range means we can cover our entire subdivision from a single point. The peace of mind it provides to our community is invaluable.
Compared to bulky, traditional repeaters, the RT97P is a revelation. Its mini portable form factor means I can deploy it anywhere. I've used it from the trunk of my car at car shows to a tailgate at a football game. Versatility at its best.
As a first-time repeater user, I was apprehensive. But the RT97P made it easy. The plug-and-play aspect (with the included power adapters) meant I was up and running quickly. The clear audio improvement over direct radio contact was immediately noticeable.
Our construction project spans a valley. Handheld radios were useless across it. Setting up the RT97P on one ridge solved the problem completely. The high power output effectively bridges the gap, keeping both work crews perfectly synchronized.
I use the RT97P with my Retevis DMR radios for off-grid camping with friends. It allows our group to split up for hiking or fishing and still stay in contact over much larger distances. It's added a new level of safety and coordination to our trips.
I manage events at a large, sprawling park. Cell service is spotty. We deployed the RT97P for a charity run, and it was fantastic. Staff with NR30D radios could coordinate from the start line to the farthest water station without a single dropped call. Reliable and easy to use.
The compact and lightweight design is a huge advantage. I can literally carry this repeater in a backpack along with a small battery and a roll-up antenna. For setting up impromptu communication at remote job sites, it's the perfect portable DMR repeater.
The customizable frequency version is worth the wait. We needed it to match our existing business band plan, and Retevis delivered exactly what we ordered. The RT97P now integrates seamlessly into our professional radio system.
The low power consumption is a hidden benefit. When paired with a decent battery, the RT97P can run for a very long time, which is crucial for emergency backup systems or extended outdoor operations. Efficient and effective.
I manage a parking and security team for a large stadium. On event days, the RT97P boosts our signal to cover the massive parking lots and perimeter. The reliable communication it provides is critical for managing traffic and ensuring safety.
The LCD display shows all the vital info at a glance: channel, frequency, signal strength. It removes the guesswork from operation. For a device in this price range, having such a clear interface is a fantastic bonus.
The rugged durability is evident the moment you unbox it. The metal casing feels solid. I have no qualms about using it in rough environments like construction sites or on farming equipment. It's built to last.
It’s pretty good rig I’ve been running the one full time for 2 years . They aren’t meant for that but it’s pretty amazing for 8-10 watts
The height of antenna is very important, and keep in mind line of sight is critical. This small repeater works very well.
