M8 AIR CONTROL AIR/MARINE/CB-27MHz RECEIVER

Posted on 28th December 2013 | Comments Off on M8 AIR CONTROL AIR/MARINE/CB-27MHz RECEIVER

Sometimes you cannot help but wonder “how can they make it for this price?”. This is what I experienced when I noted the end user price of the M8 Receiver. For less than € 30  you buy a receiver for CB/27MHz, Air Band, Marine Band and more. Incredible.
Thanks to our friends in Asia it is possible.
Of course the looks and some specs could be better and batteries (AA) are not included, but it does enable you to listen to a lot of communications for a low budget price.

Now, there is a new antenna mount version that is used by some truck brands. It is not an M6 but M7 thread.
To use M6 whips on the new M7 mounts there is an adaptor available to make your M6 antenna fit on the M7 mount.
This adaptor allows you to use the existing M6 whips on the new M7 mount.

The M6-Male to M7-Female Adaptor is to be used on vehicular antennas with M6-Female thread.
It is available in a chrome and a black version. They can be easily screwed and locked by using a 10 mm open key.
