    You spend over $200 on the Shuttle and they want $40 for an adapter cable that should be included?

    There must be a way to make one or a third party that is reasonably priced. I could almost buy the lithium battery for that price.

    What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

    The Shuttle does not come with the standard battery connection For connecting power to a Marcum Flasher.

    You would think they would include the connection for their own flashers for the cost of the unit.

    This is the adapter that should be included. None of the stores near me have one.

    It seems odd that Marcum made the connectors on VX series different from the rest.When I looked at the specs for it,they said compatible with M and LX series.It will even work if you have an old Zercom Colorpoint flasher.

    Guess I will have to open the unit, void my warranty and splice the old connector in. They should of at least put in on the pail somewhere that you need the cable. So you don’t drive 40 minutes home to find out it won’t work with their own products.

    I could buy a new M1 flasher for less than the cost of the shuttle and the adapter cable.

    Anyone interested in a brand new shuttle for $200 cash.

    Ended up opening up the shuttle and splicing in the old cable, something Marcum should have done. Crazy to pay $39.99 for a cable that I fixed for about .20 for 2 spade connectors.
