This increased our coverage from 3 miles to six miles/Coverage on a 35' push up pole on a silo.Really helped our portable radios along with increased our coverage in our vehicles from around 3 miles to 9 miles.Really great product and worth the buy.

Bought it based on reviews on youtube and have not been disappointed - this thing is cool. Set up in a hilly area with lot of trees and I seem to be getting what would be expected in this terrain and such. Solid coverage over 800+ acres with only a few spots being hit or miss. Has greatly increased comms ability in the area. Using a low-priced omni antenna purchased on as well with no complaints. Shipping direct from manufacturer was quicker than regular post from Florida to Virginia! And, I rec'd shipment updates throughout the process. (Case is my creation and not included with purchase.) NOVA GMRS

Retevis RT97S Portable GMRS Repeater

This repeater works out of the box. Power and hopefully a good antenna and location. Altitude of your antenna is essential. You are only getting about 5 watts out of the transmitter and duplexer. But no complaints. You get this unit high enough and you can attain really decent coverage. It would have been nice if they put a station identifier into the unit but it's really for quick and ready communications. Worth a buy. I hear a new version coming out soon...

Couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase nice job Retevis I will be purchasing another one for my home property.
