Hi Guys,

I am looking to buy sat finder which is not expensive. I am not prof installer but i do some installations for ppl i know.
till now i was using simple 10 bucks sat finder (which beeps on getting signal) or simply small tv in front.but am thinkng in investing on something because its becoming kind of hobby for me now spotting new stuffs.

again not something very expensive but reasonable cost with good results.
thanks a lot.

With these things do you still need a receiver to set the sat and TP or is this a standalone item?

An easy way to align LNB is ne plus ultra. See youtube Goldblatt LNB

I think I`ll finally grab one of those acutrac 22 meters. Every summer I`m on the roof way too long with my son inside reading me numbers.

I got a first strike professional sat finder on ebay brand new. with shipping was about 150 (your price subject to change!). Amazing unit...easy and bang on. Set up in minutes. Spend more time tightening the bolts.

Something to consider or look into.

i have one like above it is a great sig.meter,but a little pricey for average home owner try a local radio shack or on line for a $20.-to $30. dollar mark ,a sig.meter is one of the best investments you can buy,but i always like to have a tv near by to make sure you are on right sat
