Retevis RT97S Portable GMRS Repeater

Retevis RT97S portable GMRS repeater extends the range of your handheld or mobile GMRS radios. Ideal for farm use, community communication, and various outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and off-road driving, as well as for emergency preparedness, this portable repeater is a valuable addition to your gear.

Extend Radio Range Efficiently
Full-duplex working mode effectively doubles or extends your walkie-talkie communication range, improving signal coverage for short-range radios. 

This version of the GMRS repeater RT97S features an updated case and a DB-9 Female connector for adding an external controller for linking purposes. You can add this repeater to the myGMRS Network by purchasing a linking bundle or an all-in-one kit that is plug-and-play (coming soon).

Featuring 8 GMRS repeater channels, full 5W of output power after the duplexer, and a built-in notch duplexer, all you need to do is add an antenna and feeder cable to get on the air.

Built into a cable TV amplifier box, the RT97S is rugged and water-resistant. Two power adapters come with the repeater, a 12V/24V cigarette lighter plug, and an AC adapter. A USB programming cable is also included, so you can program the repeater to your channel and CTCSS/DCS tones of choice.

The RT97S is ideal for solar-powered repeater sites where low power and a small footprint are required. At such a small portable size, this repeater is perfect for camping trips or emergency preparedness.

Inside the case, there is a small 10W notch duplexer, an LCD, a DC-DC power adapter, and the integrated radio module itself. This repeater does NOT simply have 2 handheld radios inside.

This allows for controlling the RT97S repeater from a PC or Raspberry Pi.

GMRS repeater is a device that receives signals from one radio and retransmits them at a higher power to another radio. This process is known as “repeating” and allows for communication over a larger distance. By placing repeaters at sites with high elevations and antennas atop large towers, workable coverage is greatly increased.
