Managing a 100-acre farm was a communication nightmare until we got this kit. The RT97S repeater set up on our barn, combined with the RT86S radios, lets us coordinate from the far pastures back to the house flawlessly. The long distance coverage is a game-changer for daily operations.
For our off-road club exploring remote mountain trails, this kit is indispensable. The RT97S repeater in the lead vehicle extends the range of our RT86S handheld radios dramatically. We stay connected even when spread out over challenging terrain.
For hurricane preparedness, having independent comms is critical. This RT97S repeater kit is now the core of our neighborhood plan. When the grid goes down, we have a reliable long range radio network with the RT86S units.
Durability was a big concern for our construction crew. Both the RT97S in its rugged box and the RT86S radios with ABS material have held up to daily abuse on the job site. They are built tough.
The audio quality through the repeater is excellent. Even at the edge of the coverage area, conversations on the RT86S are clear and understandable, without the static or dropouts we experienced with direct radio-to-radio calls.
I appreciate that the RT86S is compatible with other GMRS radios. We already had a couple, and adding them to the network with the new RT97S repeater and the 6 new RT86S units was seamless.
Our construction site spans multiple buildings. The RT97S portable repeater placed in the site office eliminates all dead zones. The RT86S radios survive drops and dust, and the LCD display shows all the info we need.
As a community emergency response volunteer, I recommend this kit. The RT97S can be powered by a car or solar generator during outages. The RT86S radios are sturdy and durable, and the NOAA alerts keep us informed.
For the price, you cannot beat the functionality. We looked at other GMRS repeater kits, but the Retevis RT97S with 6 RT86S offered the most complete package for our small business needs.
Even in our hilly and tree-filled neighborhood, the combination of the RT97S repeater (with a decent antenna up high) and the RT86S radios gives us reliable coverage that handhelds alone never could.
For a small business owner, this kit represents a smart investment in operational efficiency and safety. The cost is reasonable, and the payoff in improved coordination and response time is immediate.
As a rancher in Oregon, hills and trees always blocked our signals. Installing the RT97S portable repeater on a high point, we now communicate clearly over 15 miles from the cow camp to the homestead . The GMRS repeater kit was exactly what we needed.
I initially worried about programming, but the software (downloadable from Retevis) was intuitive. With the USB cable, I had all 8 channels on the RT97S and all 6 RT86S radios configured identically in under an hour.
The kit comes with everything you need to get started: repeater, radios, programming cable, power adapters. We were on the air the same day it arrived. That kind of completeness is rare and appreciated.
The RT97S is perfect for our solar-powered setup at the remote grazing site. It runs on a solar panel and battery, providing reliable comms all day. The RT86S radios with their 2600mAh battery last through the longest shifts.
After using many communication systems over the years, I can confidently say this Retevis RT97S and RT86S kit offers the best balance of portability, power, ease of use, and value for non-professional users who need serious range.
These walkie talkies long range for our farm are fantastic. The one-key group call on the RT86S lets me instantly address all hands during harvest. The repeater ensures everyone is heard, no matter where they are on the property.
Our camping group loves this portable GMRS repeater kit. The RT97S is so compact we pack it with our gear. Setting it up at the campground, our RT86S walkie talkies reach everyone, whether they're at the lake or on hiking trails.
For our off-road club exploring remote mountain trails, this kit is indispensable. The RT97S repeater in the lead vehicle extends the range of our RT86S handheld radios dramatically. We stay connected even when spread out over challenging terrain.
For a family with a large, wooded property, this kit has brought us peace of mind. Kids playing in the woods can carry an RT86S, and we know we can reach them instantly thanks to the RT97S repeater on the house.
The RT97S repeater and RT86S radios form a perfect long range 2 way radios system for any disaster plan. The Type-C charging on the handhelds means we can use common power banks to keep them going.
I'm not a radio expert, but the simple-to-use design of both the RT97S and RT86S made setup a breeze. The included programming cable let me customize channels quickly. Now our farm hands are always in touch.
We needed a cost-effective solution for our family farm. This RT97S with RT86S bundle delivered beyond expectations. The LCD display on both units makes them easy for everyone to use. Communication is now clear and reliable across our entire land.
We use this system for coordinating volunteers during large community clean-up events. The long range means teams working in different parks can still communicate back to the command center seamlessly.
The value of this complete kit is outstanding. Instead of buying pieces separately, you get a tuned system: a reliable portable repeater and six capable long range radios. Setup was straightforward, and performance is solid.
The best long range walkie talkie system I've used for backcountry. The RT97S's multiple charging options mean it never runs out of juice. The RT86S radios are tough and the audio is crystal clear.
