As planting season approaches, Georgia farmer Sarah Collins turns to the Retevis RT97S GMRS repeater to enhance communication on her family’s farm. Situated in the fertile valleys of southern Georgia, Collins’ farm cultivates cotton, soybeans, and corn across expansive fields. As she prepares machinery, adjusts irrigation systems, and coordinates multiple teams, clear and reliable communication is crucial. In rural Georgia, where cell service is spotty, the RT97S radio repeater becomes the key to efficient operations.
Planting season begins in late March, but the real preparation starts in February. Collins’ team is busy plowing soil, applying fertilizers, and getting equipment ready for action. “There’s always a lot happening at once, from machinery breakdowns to irrigation adjustments,” she explains. “We don’t have time to waste, and without good communication, things can quickly fall behind.” Poor cell tower coverage in the area means phones aren’t dependable, especially in the far corners of the farm.
Enter the Retevis RT97S GMRS repeater. The RT97S portable repeater boosts signal across the entire property, ensuring that teams can communicate seamlessly no matter how far apart they are. Sarah’s crew uses handheld radios like the Retevis NR30S for quick communication and relies on the RT97S repeater for long-range connectivity in tractors and across the farm. “With the repeater, everyone stays in touch even in the most remote parts of the farm,” says Collins. “It’s a real game-changer.”

The RT97S repeater extends coverage well beyond what typical radios can achieve, allowing her team to adjust irrigation systems, troubleshoot equipment, or provide assistance without wasting time driving back and forth. “It’s like having a command center on every part of the farm,” Collins adds.
Sarah emphasizes three reasons why the RT97S repeater is indispensable for her operations:
1. Extended Range: The RT97S repeater enhances the signal, ensuring no area on the farm is unreachable, even in remote fields.
2. Durability: Built to withstand the harsh elements of farming—dust, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures—Retevis radios, along with the RT97S repeater, hold up in tough conditions.
3. Easy Setup and Use: The RT97S repeater is simple to install and operate, meaning no extensive training is required for new team members to stay connected.
The RT97S’s ability to cover large areas and boost signal has made it a staple on the farm, especially during busy seasons when effective communication can make all the difference. “You’d be surprised how much time you save when communication flows easily,” Collins notes.
As technology continues to evolve in agriculture, the RT97S repeater keeps communication reliable and straightforward. For Sarah Collins, it’s more than just a piece of equipment—it’s a tool that ensures her farm’s success. “When the stakes are high, especially during planting and harvest, we need a solid connection,” she says. “The RT97S helps us keep everything on track.”
With a wide coverage area and exceptional durability, the Retevis RT97S GMRS repeater is an essential asset for modern farmers. Whether navigating through long rows of crops or braving unpredictable weather, the RT97S ensures that teams are always connected and operations stay efficient.
