Retavis RT97L Repeater
Our family loves going camping and spending some time outdoors. Most of the time, our cell phones work pretty well, even if it is just to text each other. However, sometimes, there is absolutely no signal at all where we go. This is great because we get to play radio. Although some of us have a ~ham radio license~, not all of us do. So, we just switch over to ~GMRS~, which only requires a single license for our entire family. Most of the time, the GMRS radios work great because we are relatively close to each other while exploring. However, other times we get on our bikes and wander. It is during these times that we need a little boost in our comms. So, an elevated repeater would serve us greatly.
Jason’s (KM4ACK) video of the ~Retavis RT97L Repeater~ really sparked some interest for me. I will definitely be checking it out.
