⚠️ Important: USA GMRS Use Only
This repeater pushes up to 25 Watts of output power on the FCC-assigned GMRS repeater frequencies. Because the legal power limit for GMRS in Canada is strictly capped at 2 Watts, this unit is exclusively meant for licensed GMRS operators in the United States only. Due to strict regional communication regulations, this radio may not be used outside of the USA.
Rugged, Rapid-Deployment Range Extension.
When you are coordinating emergency rescues, managing a massive rural farm, or setting up comms for an off-road desert race, you need a repeater that can be dropped in the middle of nowhere and trusted to work. The Retevis RT97L High-Power Repeater is built specifically for harsh, rapid-deployment scenarios.
Unlike standard desktop repeaters that require climate-controlled racks, the RT97L is housed in a rugged, portable IP66 waterproof chassis. Featuring a massive 25W power output and an upgraded internal duplexer, this unit delivers unparalleled GMRS signal coverage across challenging terrain.
