Alexandra KelleyIf you don't need much power and want easy setup, this is the device for you. If you need station IDs for public use, RT97s are your best choice. I don't have a background in broadcasting and it was very easy to set up. This is the best repeater I could find for this price.Grover MilesA portable mobile repeater, which is exactly what I was looking for. It is useful in emergency situations. It's easy to set up and use. Although it is less powerful, this means lower power consumption. More importantly, it costs much less than a “homemade” GMRS repeater system.Aurelio StokesIt is a portable repeater in a rugged, small metal package. I think a great feature of the Retevis RT97S is its ease of setup and use. It has a built-in duplexer so we only need to use one external antenna. I bought it for family emergency communication setup, but I can also see a lot of use for this unit for emergency communications groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and neighborhood groups.Shawna BondOur Fire and EMS personnel teams used this repeater system with Retevis handhelds for communication over large areas. The range is great and simple to program. Would recommend these.
Thomas BSo far since i got this product, i used it around our property to test the area with an antenna on my tower to see how well this repeater worked as far as range, we were very pleased, I built an antenna pole/mounting system for our camper that puts the Retevis antenna roughly 20’ above ground allowing great coverage of the whole campground for all our family and other families sharing the repeater, it has been great so far and am very happy with this product and have already recommended to others.Micah KellySmall GMRS repeater that is easy to use and easy to program. Comes with everything you need to run on AC or DC power in a portable setup. As expected, the repeater puts out about 5-6 watts of power after the duplexer. It has good coverage when connected to a 7.2dBi external antenna.David FThe GMRS Repeater arrived in great condition - no issues. It works well.Carl Thomas WB9YBI/WRZJ421i just received my $409 combo pack of spkrmic/coax/ant everything about a month ago. took a couple weeks to get it here on the slow boat - it took 5 minutes of chirp-type programming to verify the freqs & change 2.5 narrowband to 5kc widerband. it worked here fine.. nobody else to really test it with.. i went 3 miles away to costco & kerchunked it when in the cashier line indoors on my bowfang.. (on 50ft diamond commercial ant on lmr though) i think it's a steal like the $15 bowfang was. now i want to move my life to somewhere where somebody will use it.. like utah, desert, or some island.. now i gotta rethink my whole retirement - audio is awesome/fullbodied/asskickin'
