Retevis RT97L 25W Portable GMRS Repeater IP66 Waterproof Long Range Base Station
Does the job for casual use. Range is okay (~5 miles in open areas), but urban performance drops. Interface is simple, but the manual could be clearer. For the price, it’s a fair deal.

Fixed installed on my Toyhauler Camper w/a Multi-Polarized 1/4 wave NMO (08-ANT-0864), and a 6 Pack of RT22 Handhelds all on licensed GMRS for use somewhat near camp. Ive built my own GMRS repeater before and this has better audio and is much more portable and power efficient.The handheld coverage is far more solid than simplex, being inside a building like the showers/bathroom does not cause issues like before, the handhelds can hear the repeater from much further away than they can be heard, like 8m+ Rx and 2-3m Tx. The range is perfect for base camp, we switch to simplex if we have a bunch of handhelds too far out from base, could likely gain range for HT's with a higher gain base antenna but I don't need it and this multi polarized wideband antenna is getting me great audio without LoS and better range in Canyons.Mobile Rigs can now venture off at great distances and keep coms, tow vehicle has 25W with 5/8 wave radio and I've got over 15 miles out, and from behind obstacles I didn't think would work like earthen dams. Anyone in base camp can communicate with the far-off mobile rigs with a simple handheld, audio is clear. This is great and just what I wanted, I can install nice radios with nice antennas in toys such as OHV's and Boats and still communicate with base camp over large distances.

Although I haven't checked out all the features, I can safely say this is the right radio for noisy environments. Tested it at a few stage shows here in the Caribbean for our Carnival just over a week ago and the audio was crystal clear. Keep in mind the sound engineer on stage was able to speak to me back stage without any background noise issues.

The RT97 handles long-term energization well, maintaining stable performance even when powered continuously. Its 12V DC coil works smoothly, and the SPDT contacts manage low-power DC switching effectively. A solid choice for automation projects requiring constant operation.
