Retevis RT97S GMRS Repeater and RB17P GMRS Handheld Radio Bundle

The Retevis RT97S GMRS repeater extends the RB17P GMRS handheld radio's communication distance, supplying up to 10 miles of talking range where terrain allows (the specific call distance depends on the usage environment). It is a long range radio communication solution for farms, construction sites, racing, concerts, schools, churches, rescue, buildings, and road trips.

Main Features of RT97S GMRS Repeater:

1. Easy-to-Use GMRS Repeater Bundle

Featuring 8 GMRS repeater channels, a 10W transmitter with a full 5W output after the duplexer, and a built-in notch duplexer, the RT97S only needs an antenna and feeder cable to get on the air. A USB programming cable is included, so you can program your channel and CTCSS/DCS tones of choice.

2. Small and Portable Repeater

The Retevis RT97S repeater measures just 260 x 210 x 70mm. It is compact and convenient to carry, useful for outdoor use by families, individuals, and groups, and it can be installed on a hilltop to build your own base station.

3. Multiple Charging Options

The RT97S can be powered by DC 12-24V, car power, or a solar battery. It suits solar-powered repeater sites where low power draw and a small footprint are required, and the portable size works well for camping trips or emergency preparedness.

4. Easy-to-Read LCD Display

The Retevis RT97S repeater comes with an LCD that shows the TX and RX frequencies, CTCSS/DCS codes, and bandwidth settings at a glance. Up and down keys change channels and CTCSS/DCS tones, and a key locks or unlocks the keypad.

Main Features of RB17P GMRS Handheld Radio:

1. Repeater Capability

The RB17P GMRS two way radio has 8 repeater channels, which connect directly to the Retevis RT97S GMRS repeater for stronger, longer-distance signals. This pairing increases communication range and reliability across the coverage area.

2. Long Battery Life

Equipped with a 2200mAh large-capacity battery, the RB17P supports 24 hours of work without frequent charging, and its long standby time covers daily shifts.

3. NOAA Weather Alerts

The dual-watch function lets you monitor NOAA while communicating with your partner. The radio scans and locks the strongest weather channel, keeping you posted on severe weather updates.

4. Colorful Display and Multiple Background Colors

The Retevis RB17P GMRS walkie talkie has a 1.7-inch TFT color screen for checking radio information at a glance, and it offers 8 background colors so you can pick the readable option for different lighting.

5. One-Key Alarm Function Button

The Retevis RB17P has an orange alarm button on top of the radio. Press it to send an alarm, which triggers both local and remote alerts across the group so teammates can respond quickly.

6. Excellent Audio Quality

With high-quality speaker components, the RB17P 2 way radios sound loud without being harsh. The radios also feature 0-9 squelch levels that filter out incoming signals below a set strength, and users can adjust the squelch level to match their needs.

Orders from retevis.com include fast free shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee, lifetime free firmware and resource downloads, and lifetime technical and customer support.

FAQ

The bundle includes the RT97S GMRS repeater, a fiberglass antenna, feeder cable, a speaker mic, and a USB programming cable, plus the RB17P handhelds for the tier you choose (1 to 50 radios).

The RT97S extends RB17P range up to 10 miles in open, unobstructed terrain; actual distance depends on the usage environment, including terrain, buildings, and vegetation.

Yes. The RB17P has 8 repeater channels that connect directly to the RT97S, and both ship on GMRS default channels, so the kit works after mounting the antenna and power.

The RT97S is a 10W portable repeater (5W after the duplexer) with a DB-9 port for external controllers and speaker-mic support; the RT97L is the 25W higher-power option.

Tiers cover 1, 2, 6, 10, 20, and 50 radios. Match the count to your crew size; the repeater supports all handhelds on the same channel and CTCSS/DCS codes regardless of tier.

The 2200mAh Li-ion battery supports about 24 hours of work without frequent charging, and the power-saving function extends standby between charges.

The RB17P charges on its original charging base, and Retevis lists the base, spare 2200mAh batteries, and 2-pin accessories for this radio; vehicle charging depends on the power supply you pair.

Yes. The dual-watch function monitors NOAA while you communicate, scans and locks the strongest weather channel, and flags severe weather updates.

Pressing the orange button on top of the radio sends both a local alarm and a remote alert to other radios, so the whole group knows when a member needs help.

GMRS radios operate under an FCC license in the United States; no test is required, and one license covers family members. Check local regulations before operating in other countries.

Yes. The included USB cable programs channels, CTCSS/DCS tones, and bandwidth; the LCD shows TX/RX frequencies as you configure. Custom factory frequencies are also available when ordering.

Yes. The RT97S runs on DC 12-24V, car power, or a solar battery, and it suits solar-powered repeater sites that need low power draw and a small footprint.

It depends on terrain and antenna height: customers plan one RT97S per coverage zone with the antenna as high as practical, and large areas may need several units placed at elevated points.

Yes, any GMRS radio set to the same channel and CTCSS/DCS codes can use the RT97S. Customer inquiries confirm Baofeng UV-5G handhelds and Retevis RT22/RT29 radios working through RT97-series repeaters.

Yes. The repeater uses a standard 50-ohm antenna connection, so a fiberglass base antenna or a portable roll-up j-pole with appropriate cable works; match the connector and keep the feedline short.

The RT97S adds a DB-9 connector for external controllers, which enables linking setups such as repeater controllers; multi-unit daisy-chain designs should be confirmed with support before ordering.

Yes. The 1.7-inch TFT color screen offers 8 background colors, so you can pick the most readable option for bright sun or low light.

The RB17P features 0-9 squelch levels that filter out incoming signals below a set strength; users adjust the level to balance range and background noise.

Orders from retevis.com include fast free shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee, lifetime free firmware and resource downloads, and lifetime technical and customer support.

Both use the RT97S repeater. The RB17P focuses on a color screen, SOS alarm, and 24-hour battery; the NR30S adds IP67 waterproofing, two-way noise reduction, and Type-C charging. Pick by environment and charging habits.

It can improve in-building coverage when the repeater and antenna are placed appropriately; customer inquiries about 150,000 sq ft warehouses suggest planning antenna placement and testing before scaling.

The main image shows a 6-radio tier of this bundle; the URL tier includes 2 radios. Choose your tier in the variant selector, and the count in your order matches the option you pick.
