Some customers may encounter some problems when using the RT97 series repeaters. In order to help more customers solve the problems, this blog is about the summary of common problems with RT97, RT97S, and RT97P.
1.What models are there for RT97, RT97S, and RT97P?
Solution:RT97 has customized, UHF, VHF, and GMRS versions; RT97S has customized and GMRS versions; RT97P has customized, UHF, and VHF versions.
The customization range is 136-174Mhz or 400-470Mhz, and the customized TX and RX frequency difference is 5MHz to 12MHz.After customization, it can only be changed within the range of +-200Khz.
2.RT97 and RT97S have solutions to squelch or noise problems.
Solution: The default squelch is 3 when the product leaves the factory, which will cause the relay to be disturbed and cause the above problems. Adjusting the squelch to 5 or 6 can solve the problem.
3.RT97S has a short communication distance.
Solution: Please refer to this blog. https://www.retevis.com/blog/how-to-solve-short-transmission-distance-issues-with-rt97s-repeater
4.What programming software is available and what functions are programmable?
Solution: Programming software download website: https://www.retevis.com/resources-center
Sub-sound, power, and optional functions can be edited. The frequency can only be adjusted by ±0.2MHz
5.Is the encryption of RT97P compatible with other walkie-talkies?
Solution:The RT97P relay does not have an encryption function. If the intercommunication walkie-talkies are encrypted, they can be transferred through the relay, but the sound quality will be affected.
6.What digital modes does RT97P support?
Solution: Currently only DMR mode is supported, and other modes are not supported。
7.The repeater screen is full of ????
Solution: Rewriting the frequency can solve the problem
8.What is the relay tail delay in the RT97S software
Solution: Adjusting the relay delay means that the walkie-talkie can receive the return sound of the repeater after transmitting. Please check whether the repeater is connected to the repeater.
9.What is the universal password for RT97S?
Solution: The universal password is 081828. To cancel the password: enter an empty password.
10.RT97S activates on two different CTCSS tones, but only one is programmed into the repeater.
Solution: To achieve different tones, enter the decoded tone first, then change the encoded tone
11.In addition to the different appearance design, are there any other functional settings between RT97S and RT97? Are there any optimized parts?
Solution: RT97S is an upgraded version of RT97. In addition to the different appearance design, the interface definitions of RT97S and RT97 are also different. As a relay, it is the same as RT97. The power of RT97S is slightly higher than that of RT97.
12.Can RT97P transfer both analog and digital devices on the same channel?
If both analog and digital devices are transmitted at the same time, which one will be transferred first? You cannot transfer both at the same time.
We will continue to update the FAQs in the future. Welcome to add to them.
