Tips
Not sure which version you have? Check the date your repeater was made or bought. Retevis changed the RT-97L's connector wiring around August 2025.
Wire colors are only a guide. Your cable may use different colors. What matters is that each pin on one end goes to the right pin on the other.
Check it with a meter. Before plugging in, use a multimeter on continuity to confirm each pin pair, and that no neighboring pins are shorted together.
Leave the unused pins empty. RIM-Lite pins 1, 4 and 7 are not connected. Wiring the wrong pin can key the repeater or damage the interface.
