Anthonygreat repeaterReviewed on Oct 24,2022Last winter, I purchased a Retevis RT97 analog ham repeater from Retevis. Previously, I purchased a RT97 GMRS repeater from Retevis. The GMRS repeater is great!JJ CPortable RepeaterReviewed on Jul 19,2022I’m right in the middle of upgrading my organization’s radio system from VHF high band simplex (with very old and outdated equipment) to UHF and while the majority of our response area does fine in a simplex mode we have some outlying areas that are sketchy (to bluntly put it) and I’ve been trying to come up with a solution. I purchased the strongest wattage portable handheld) radios and other than purchasing multiple mobiles a minimum of 7) for use in when operating in those outlying areas which would have “broke the bank”, the only other option was a repeater system. Every other repeater setup I’ve been able to find not only requires a rather large footprint but seems to be a bit complicated for an amateur like myself not to mention above all else the HIGH, make that RIDICULOUS price tag associated with these systems has made it unattainable. Our requirements only dictate the need for a lower wattage system (and a really good base antenna) but that really didn’t seem to make much of a difference on the price tag of any repeater systems available today until I saw this repeater offered on retevis I was wondering (again, me being an amateur at this) if this unit would actually work as stated by the manufacturer and if it would deliver a quality performance. Not only will it ensure a strong coverage area but it’s simple, AFFORDABLE and seems to deliver a quality transmission which are all positives.Richard Owenswork wellReviewed on Jul 19,2022I've watched a few videos regarding this little portable repeater and it seems to work well, given its inherent limitations (like no auto ID function and a lack of remote controllability). Of course, like all VHF/UHF systems, the primary limitation is going to be the relative altitude and gain of the repeater's antenna, more so than power output. So, 10 watts should be quite sufficient, if you give proper attention to location of the repeater's antenna relative to the coverage area.PatGreat repeaterReviewed on May 17,2022Super easy to use and even easier to power in the field. Setup was simple. Couldn't be happier! Range seems great. I was a bit concerned ordering directly from Retivis because of shipping times from China due to the pandemic/supply chain issues, but it arrived fairly quickly. Constant status updates from Laura was a nice touch. Would definitely purchase from them again!Great productReviewed in United States on May 31,2021This repeater is worth every penny. I connected it to a 12v rechargeable battery and a solar panel. It is now on a ridge, making the range of our back country communications far greater. I highly recommend it.Great ProductReviewed in United States on Jun 10,2020I recently purchased a RT97. Watched some reviews online and appeared to be the right product for my application. I have several 100 acres of forest in northern Ontario, Canada with many hills and valleys. Cell communication is spotty at best. Radios work until your separated by a hill or valley. This product solved all of my issues. Highly recommend. Make sure to buy the antenna and cable as it is sold separatelyGood little repeater.Reviewed in United States on Jun 07,2020I built a field deployable repeater using this a small SLA battery, small solar panel, and a N9TAX roll up antenna. I got 17 miles out of it today. Seems like a good little repeater that doesn't consume alot of power.Works well + Fast shippingReviewed in United States on Apr 24,2020Nancy with customer service was very helpful in helping place my order correctly. The repeater works very well, I paired it with their base antenna and am very pleased. Response time via email was quick and the shipping to the US was only a few days, even now during the pandemic! Very impressed.VE3IPSPerfect for ARES and EmcommReviewed in United States on Apr 14,2019Finally, an all in one package for rapid deployment for ARTES or Emcomm by a trusted brand at a price anyone can affordRingwayManchesterGreat!Reviewed in United States on Feb 02,2019Fantastic bit of equipment! Works really well!
