FranktheTank Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 Retevis is having a sale. The combo pack of RT97 portable repeater plus the two RT76 was cheaper then buying the RT97 by it's self! I just paid $327.19 shipped. Last time I ordered direct from Retevis, it only took about 6 days. Hopefully this one also ships quick. https://www.retevis.com/Mobile-GMRS-repeater-RT97-Handheld-GMR-Radio-RT76/ Radioboy1962 1 Quote
n4gix Posted April 6, 2021 Report Posted April 6, 2021 Hmmm... I just ordered the same repeater but for 'custom' amateur frequencies. I got the "April" price of $311.39, but the shipping and handling charge of $38.00 pushed it up to $349.39. I suspect that the GMRS version you ordered is kept in stock here in the U.S. so the shipping is much less expensive! Because I ordered the 'custom' version, it will have to be tuned in China and shipped over by air... Quote

Yesterday when I ordered it, it was listed $274.19 plus $53 shipping so, my total was $327.19. Still waiting on my shipping notification. Maybe a one day sale or realized that it was prices too low. The custom RT97 is better priced than the GMRS version for some strange reason. You did good to order it that way, just make sure you gave them your Freq pairs so hopefully you get a tuned duplexer to match. Cheapest I've found RT97's stocked here in US is $399 +tax and sometimes shipping so, I jumped on the chance to order direct at that price. Quote

We stock ours here in the US (when we can KEEP them in stock, more on the way in the next few days) for $399 including free shipping. FranktheTank and SkylinesSuck 2 Quote
rdunajewski Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 For anyone who might be interested, we just got more in today, but stock is limited. https://shop.mygmrs.com/collections/featured-products/products/retevis-rt97-gmrs-repeater-5w Quote
n4gix Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 Rich, I would have ordered from you but I needed one for a 70cm amateur frequency pair. It will be used primarily for our local ARES group and other special events. Quote
