Great repeater. Much better than the previous models. Great receiver sensitivity and no desense through the included notch duplexer. I'm a picky guy with 12 ham radio repeaters on the air. I say this is a keeper !

This repeater replaced an RT97S that has been in service for a few years. No issues with it, other than the output power after the duplexer was about 4 watts. The new RT97L transmits at 21 watts (verified) after the duplexer. It has added about 10 miles onto my range and works in low spots or valleys that it didn't before. I have in located at the top of a hill, in a fence line at the highest point on my property. It is powered by a marine deep cycle battery that is charged by solar panels. I initially had the first generation RT97 that worked flawlessly for years but went with the RT97S when it came out so I could link it nationwide. I have had great results with almost all of the Retevis products I have owned over the years. This being a new product, there was an issue with the programming software that Retevis has fixed. Retevis may be a bit difficult to deal with due to the time difference and language, but they have always solved any of the minor issues I have had with their new products. It would be great if they had a more complete manual for their products. This repeater has several options that can be set with the software but does not explain what the different settings do.

I first had the transmit delay issue which it wouldn't transmit after keying a radio a couple of times, sent an email to Retevis and the next morning I had the instructions on how to download the firmware update and software for the update. To be fair my repeater's output is 30.1 Watts with the power supply which is more than advertised and it's working great after the update.

Good repeater, easy to set up and run on the pre-programmed channel out of the box. That said, the PC-based programming software is terrible (the device is not Chirp compatible), offers only bare bones, and is not well suited for anything other than running it right out of the box (at which it does a very good job). I also had very poor results using the Retevis GMRS antenna with it. Overall the device seems terrific for use on the road but was much less suited to home setup in a suburban/urban area.

Works really great around the farm and allows us to communicate easily with handheld radios.

I have some serious issues with this repeater. First off you must install apk, adb platform apps in order to update and get the unit setup. The most popular apk apps are not from US. These apps require you to link your cell phone to an outside server. If anyone has crypto access on your phone, your more brave than me. Another reviewer stated he got a virus from doing all this. I have spent all afternoon trying to get the repeater to transmit. It is receiving, but will not transmit. I suppose I have a defective unit. I am putoff that this unit is not plug n play.

Fantastic repeater so far, awesome build quality and design, hooked to my 60ft antenna I have about a perfect swr of 1.02 , , Was able to talk 37 miles, just a fantastic bit of kit! Mine shipped with firmware ver 1.5, You MUST have a good antenna set up with a low swr, high swr obviously ruins communication quality and distance but is also hard on the unit and can/will cause damage eventually, buy a quality antenna and good cable! As of now I am VERY impressed with the rt97L, awesome build quality, great design, amazing sound and reception what more could you ask for.
