Get on the air quickly with this repeater, antenna, and coax cable bundle! Everything you need to get this repeater up and running is included:
- Retevis RT97S Portable Repeater
- Pre-tuned Internal Notch Duplexer
- AC Power Supply
- DC Power Supply (12V/24V Cigarette Lighter)
- USB Programming Cable
- Retevis MA01 UHF Antenna with SO-239 (UHF Female Connector)
- 50 ft. of RG-58 Coax Cable with PL-259 (UHF Male) Connectors
New model! This version features an updated case and a DB-9 Female connector for adding an external controller for linking purposes. You can add this repeater to the myGMRS Network by purchasing a linking bundle or a plug-and-play kit (coming soon).
The Retevis RT97S is an exciting new UHF repeater certified by the FCC for use on GMRS! The Retevis RT97S has FCC ID 2ASNSRT97.
Featuring 8 GMRS repeater channels, a 10W transmitter with a full 5W output power after the duplexer, and a built-in notch duplexer, all you need to do is add an antenna and feedline to get on the air.
Built into a cable TV amplifier box, the RT97S is rugged and water-resistant. Two power adapters come with the repeater, a 12V/24V cigarette lighter plug, and an AC adapter. A USB programming cable is also included to program the repeater to your channel and CTCSS/DCS tones of choice.
The RT97S is ideal for solar-powered repeater sites where low power and a small footprint are required. At such a small portable size, this repeater is perfect for camping trips or emergency preparedness.
Inside the case, there is a small 10W notch duplexer, an LCD display, a DC-DC power adapter, and the integrated radio module itself. This repeater does NOT simply have two handheld radios inside.
* Please note that this connector does not currently feature a discriminator output which is required for an external controller that will do the CTCSS/DCS tone decoding. However, the repeater can be configured to decode the tones internally. We have only tested it with a URIxB repeater interface for use with the myGMRS Network at this time.
