Tho, this is for the R7 , these are quite similar
except the R-8 also works on 6 meters. - the r7 can be easily modified
to work on 6 meters. useing
a Hustler 2 meter 5/8 (or 6 meter 1/4 wave) to 3-48 mount, and bolt to
the top part of the r/7.
These appear frequently on Ebay, tho are obsolete
from hustler! Cushcraft manuals are also
availible at Cuscraft's website in pdf format.

I am looking at buying a used Cushcraft R8 antenna that includes the
"MN8 matching network." I can't find anything on the net about the
matching network.
1. When I inspect the antenna, what specific things should I inspect for?
2. What good is the MN8 matching network. (I've got a Yaesu FT-990 if
that makes a difference.)
3. Anything good to say about this antenna?
Thanks all!
