0 OffRoaderX Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 IIRC, one is based in China, the other is the US based division - As I understand it, all the hardware comes from the same child slave-labor camp in the China desert. But I do recall reading that the slave-labor camp is now more child-friendly and every new piece of hardware is made with 25% fewer beatings. BTW - I do have an RT97 and its a great little box. gman1971 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sshannon Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 I don’t really know, but there’s a third choice. The company that hosts the forum you’re currently on sells a slightly different version of the RT97, which is the RT-97S. It has an external controller port which allows the repeater to be linked to other repeaters, including the MyGMRS network: https://shop.mygmrs.com/collections/repeaters-and-accessories/products/retevis-rt97s-portable-gmrs-repeater?utm_source=mygmrs&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=rt97 The last time I checked it was more expensive than the US Retevis store, but if the addition of the external port is necessary for your application, there doesn’t seem to be an alternative.
