Locking on to your satellite signal is now a one-person operation.
Satellite Signal Meter displays signal strength, according to dish position, with an easy-to-read analog needle and audible tone, allowing you to make necessary adjustments without having to yell back and forth from the window. Quickly installs between the satellite dish and receiver and includes a 3', 75 ohm cable for easy hook-up. Meter is powered by satellite receiver, so there's no additional power connection. Works great with #17018 Satellite Heading Compass.
Product Protection Plan covers 100% parts and labor for up to two years following the expiration of your manufacturer's warranty. You won't have any out-of-pocket expenses. Note: Patio Awning, Window Awning, Slide Topper weather coverage begins at the date of purchase. Click here for more details

just follow the instructions and it was as advertised. Only concern was I am not sure it is waterproof, I would guess not, so be sure and remove it after you find your signal.

This unit is connected via coaxial cable between the satellite dish and the satellite receiver satellite input. The receiver provides operating power to the finder, as well as to the LMB at the dish. Power to the finder illuminates the meter light and provides operating power to the RF amplifier that drives the analog meter movement. A sensitivity control knob is used to adjust the meter to be within range of no signal to high signal. (Satellite TV signals are always digital .) Make interim sensitivity adjustment to keep the meter about midrange. After doing an initial aiming of the dish for required azimuth and elevation, use the finder to locate your required satellite, then make small azimuth and elevation adjustments for maximum signal. If you found the correct satellite, the TV will display signal strength or a picture. If a tree or other obstrction partially obscures direct line of sight to the satellite, you may get a lower than optimum signal that is insufficient to view television. The Satellite Finder does as its name implys, find satellites; all of them. It is up to the user to find the correct satellite. We have Direct TV. The signal is adjacent to a stronger one from a different satellite that sometime makes it difficult to find ours. For us, the Satellite Finder is indespensible.

I have had one for years and wouldn't be without it. I have not had any trouble with the cable that came with it. Sometimes I can lock on the signal in seconds - It helps you develope a sense of where the signal should be. The signal finder is compact, easy to store, and easy to use.
