JulesGMRS repeater for local SHFTReviewed on Mar 19,2025Purchased this GMRS repeater to set up an ad-hoc bicycle based repeater network for events where participants may not want to carry mobile devices. Havent put it into use yet, but tests show it works extremely when parked atop a downtown parking structure. Powered by a small lithium battery tge entire system of repeater and vattery fits into a discreet looking backpack.CoralGreat little repeaterReviewed on Mar 14,2025For 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 Retevis NR30S with both houses surrounded by trees.LeonaA Handy Little, All-In-One gmrs RepeaterReviewed on Mar 14,2025It is only a 10 watt repeater with just above 5 watts out of the duplexer. It is a quality unit.BlitheGreat value!!!Reviewed on Mar 14,2025Works perfectly for neighborhood communicationJasonA compact, easy to use, easy to program GMRS repeaterReviewed on Mar 14,2025A compact, easy to use, easy to program GMRS repeater. Not really much else to say. It just works. Comes with everything you need to run it on AC power or DC in a portable setup. Only downside is the duplexer robs about half the output power, which is to be expected on a small 10W device, but it’s still a great setup.ZacharySo far so goodReviewed on Mar 14,2025The 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.LindaVery easy to set upReviewed on Mar 14,2025Read description before to insure you order the right one, the GMRS model works great and easy to set upWallisPortable ReapeaterReviewed on Mar 14,2025I bought this RT97S because I could not get 2 radios to work as a repeater without duplexer. So I got this and it works very well. easy to program and setup. Feels solid and built well. Also I do not know what the issue is with others saying it only makes 3.5 or 4 watts after duplexer. if you move away from tuned frequency on duplexer of course the power will drop out. At 462.575-467.575 I get 7 watts and 5 watts on edges.BeverlyGMRS repeater works greatReviewed on Mar 14,2025The repeater works well approximately 5 miles range within wooded area. the speaker microphone is great. SWR is 1.0 with 6.79 watts output. Overall happy with the purchaseColbertPerfect repeater for our local net.Reviewed on Mar 14,2025We now can communicate much further on our GMRS network. Excellent product.
