The Retevis RT97 is an exciting new UHF repeater certified by the FCC for use on GMRS! The Retevis RT97 has FCC ID 2ASNSRT97.
Featuring 8 GMRS repeater channels, 5W of output power, 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 RT97 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 so you can program the repeater to your channel and CTCSS/DCS tones of choice.
The RT97 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, the LCD display, a DC-DC power adapter, and the integrated radio module itself. This repeater does NOT simply have 2 handheld radios inside.
