DavidFantastic repeater for our hunting property!Reviewed on Jan 12,2025This repeater is an awesome value for the money it works fantastic on our hunting property, I have it connected to a 12 volt deep cycle battery with a solar panel and charge controller. Built a 20' tall mast out of 2 chain link fence top rails guy wires and a nice gmrs antenna connected with lmr400 coax it's a sweet set up !!! Couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase nice job Retevis I will be purchasing another one for my home property.MichaelWorks really well for only 5W actual outputReviewed on Jan 10,2025If you don't need a lot of power and you want easy setup, this is your device. If you need station ID for allowing public to use, RT97s is the way to go. I have no background in radio and this was super easy to setup with an online video once.DanGreat UnitReviewed on Jan 07,2025Presently I am getting @ 16 miles coverage in a mountainous area. This summer I will place the unit at about 7000 feet after the snow recedes and should get @ 100 miles coverage. The unit appears to be well made and mine puts out @ 6 watts of power.JackSo far so goodReviewed on Jan 06,2025The repeater puts out about 5-6 watts of power after the duplexer, as would be expected. When connected to a 6dBi outside antenna, it has decent coverage.Eric KraskeEvery GMRS'r sooner or later wants a repeater - this one is great!Reviewed on Jan 03,2025Bought 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 amazon as well with no complaints. Shipping direct from manufacturer was quicker than regular post from Florida to Virginia!Frank J. Derflergood performanceReviewed on Dec 31,2024The system works great. The repeater has an excellent design. A good value with good performance.WatsonGreat little repeaterReviewed on Dec 19,2024For what it is, this is a great little unit. I haven't done extensive testing on it like some others on here, but it works as intended. I live in the Bay area surrounded by hills and trees and I'm still able to communicate with family members 7 miles away using Radioddity DB20s with both houses surrounded by trees.Disclaimer: As with all things GMRS, line of sight it key so your experience may vary.Frank PerrasVery Impressive with the right equipmentReviewed on Dec 11,2024when used with a Comet 712 efc gmrs antenna on a 40 ft tower in a hilly area using mag mount antenna on trucks we reached out 15 milesWilliamGood valueReviewed on Nov 18,2024Have purchased 3 of these. They are compact and easy to set up. Have used them on my Jeep with a power supply and in an office building to extend range. They work greatMax KentMuch more than I expectedReviewed on Nov 08,2024About 7 miles range with my 5W GMRS HT in our wooded property. Have great reception and clarity! Work great! I would recommend.
