UlricExcellent range for emergency preparedness!Reviewed on Mar 18,2025I set up the RT97S as part of our family’s emergency communication network. With a good antenna and proper placement, we’re getting 15+ miles of clear signal.ThaddeusReliable and durableReviewed on Mar 11,2025Highly recommended for business use!StellanPerfect for off-grid communicationReviewed on Mar 04,2025We use the RT97S for our hunting camp, and it keeps everyone connected. The compact design makes it easy to transport, and the signal is strong even in dense woods.RaffertyGreat coverage and easy setupReviewed on Feb 25,2025Installed the RT97S at our farm, and now we have seamless communication across all fields. The range is impressive, and it works flawlessly even in hilly terrain.QuinlanGood performanceReviewed on Feb 18,2025I really liked the solid construction and affordability of these radios.PiersWork fineReviewed on Feb 11,2025I bought these for use with my non-profit organization. They both worked fine, and I must say that they were easy to program.OrsonGreat bundleReviewed on Feb 04,2025I get 20 miles out of the 10W RT97S with a high-quality coaxial cable and a high-gain antenna mounted 37 feet up. The L should get even more. Remember, height, quality coax, and a good antenna make the biggest difference!NevinGreat Retevis RT97SReviewed on Jan 28,2025Coverage is about 10 miles of HT coverage from my hilltop location and was perfect to meet my goal of connecting family as well as providing a community resource for leisure as well as for future disasters and providing an alternate repeater to our local wide coverage GMRS machine. I've since added a repeaterid.com automated ID device that was plug & play with the RT97's data port as well as a LiFePO4 battery and solar panel so my repeater can remain in operation no matter what mother nature throws at us.MagnusRecommend RT97SReviewed on Jan 21,2025As a long time amateur radio and GMRS operator, I had often considered placing a repeater at my home QTH but always seemed to find an excuse to delay the project. Six months ago today, Hurricane Helene devastated the southeastern US and even my part of NC about 25 miles West of Charlotte was without power, Cell, and internet for days. I was no longer 'on the fence' about a repeater and decided it was time to move forward with the project. After assessing needs, wants, and budget the RETEVIS RT97S was the best choice for me and I placed my order for the bundle that also included a base antenna, coax, programming cable, power adapters (fixed & mobile) and a hand speaker mic for use directly with the repeater. Setup was quick & easy. Audio quality is excellent.LazarusGood antennaReviewed on Jan 14,2025In the area I live, the tallest buildings are about two stories tall and the trees aren't any higher on average. I was able to get my antenna about 45 ft above ground level which makes this actually work.
