The perfect combination of RT97 and motorcycle

When a motorcycle is traveling in a team, because of the speed, there is a long safe distance between the two motorcycle. The entire team will be like a train. It is very long and long. The communication between the leader motorcycle and the team tail motorcycle is very bad. Coupled with the effects of wind noise, clear call content that is hard to hear.

When I saw RT97, I think if I can put the RT97 on the motorcycle? Can this idea be a mobile relay station for the team? The experiment was successful on an electric motorcycle today.

The equipment and materials needed are very simple: An RT97 Repeater, a motorcycle, a car antenna, 5-meter feeder, a clip for a car antenna,3 meters of wire.

First, we want to get the DC 12v power supply from where. I am leading from the back of the light switch. This will turn the RT97 Repeater on or off at any time.

Then install the RT97 Repeater. RT97 Repeater is now installed in the toolbox where I sit in the car. The ideal state is to use the bracket to turn the RT97 Repeater, installed on the rear frame of the motorcycle. The cooling of the RT97 Repeater will be better.
