From monitoring aircraft to public safety, broadcast, shortwave and beyond, the AR 8600MKIIB sets new standards in performance. It's no wonder that many monitoring professionals, including government, newsrooms, laboratories, military users and more rely upon AOR.)
- Expanded frequency coverage
- An improved RF front end
- Better receive audio response
- Ability to accept a new video reception unit (currently undergoing development)
The AR8600 Mark II reflects AOR's ongoing commitment to improving its products and maintaining its leadership in designing and building high-end receivers. The AR8600 Mark II sets several new standards that make the receiver desirable to professional users and monitoring enthusiasts. |
AR8600 Mark II Multimode Mobile/Base Receiver
