Usually selling for around 500 dollars.
As I said, I am looking for under $130. I'm not looking to be a professional installer.
How about the Swift Hitch camera method?
Not trying to hook up a trailer.
I want to go out and find my spot, set up the dish before running the coax to the PI. Not very difficult or time consuming.","board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:RVMustHaves"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:2400988"},"author":{"__typename":"User","login":"mikestock"},"postTime":"2016-09-24T11:10:41.000-07:00","kudosSumWeight":0}},{"__typename":"MessageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3w1fDE0OjAsMzk6MXw0","node":{"__typename":"ForumReplyMessage","uid":2400992,"body":"Professional or not, decent meters are expensive.

Yes, but as often as not, I am alone setting it up and sometimes a little distant from the rv. For instance, I had to use 125' of coax yesterday. I guess I could buy a baby monitor, but I tried a borrowed one once, I couldn't see it in the bright sun. I'm looking for a meter that I can use to get the dish all ready before routing my coax. After years of trying every way I've ever heard of, I like doing it my way and I'm just asking if anyone is familiar with a simple, self powered meter. The Acutrac III served my needs but the extreme heat in my basement was, apparently, too much for it.
I attempted to word the original post to communicate this, but I'm not looking for alternate suggestions. I have been reading posts for years, dealing with suggested ways to set up and doubt if there are many I haven't tried or read about. I even have a Line-of-Site device attached to the dish. But, what I do is what I do and I will continue with this method once I find a replacement.","board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:RVMustHaves"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:2400988"},"author":{"__typename":"User","login":"mikestock"},"postTime":"2016-09-24T13:38:06.000-07:00","kudosSumWeight":0}}]},"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/common/ActionFeedback\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/common/ActionFeedback-1741694506000"}],"cachedAsset({\"assetId\":\"Common\",\"assetType\":\"quiltWrapper\",\"lastModified\":\"1745482151661\",\"locale\":null,\"node\":null})":{"__ref":"CachedAsset:quiltWrapper:campingworld.prod:Common:1745482151661"},"cachedAsset({\"assetId\":\"custom.widget.CustomFooter-en-US\",\"assetType\":\"component\",\"lastModified\":\"1745482235252\",\"locale\":null,\"node\":null})":{"__ref":"CachedAsset:component:custom.widget.CustomFooter-en-us-1745482235252"},"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/community/Breadcrumb\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/community/Breadcrumb-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/messages/MessageBanner\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/messages/MessageBanner-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/messages/MessageView/MessageViewStandard\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/messages/MessageView/MessageViewStandard-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/messages/ThreadedReplyList\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/messages/ThreadedReplyList-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/messages/MessageReplyCallToAction\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/messages/MessageReplyCallToAction-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/nodes/NodeActionButtonWidget\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/nodes/NodeActionButtonWidget-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/nodes/NodeInformationWidget\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/nodes/NodeInformationWidget-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/messages/RelatedContentWidget\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/messages/RelatedContentWidget-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/community/FooterWidget\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/community/FooterWidget-1741694506000"}],"coreNode({\"id\":\"board:RVMustHaves\"})":{"__ref":"Forum:board:RVMustHaves"},"coreNodes({\"constraints\":{\"id\":{\"in\":[\"category:RVTalk\",\"category:TRAVELCENTER\",\"board:Announcements_Blog\",\"board:Announcements_Blog\",\"board:GetSupportAskQuestions\",\"board:CommunityFeedback\",\"category:AdminModsPrivate\"]}},\"first\":7})":{"__typename":"CoreNodeConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"CoreNodeEdge","node":{"__ref":"Category:category:RVTalk"}},{"__typename":"CoreNodeEdge","node":{"__ref":"Category:category:TRAVELCENTER"}},{"__typename":"CoreNodeEdge","node":{"__ref":"Forum:board:GetSupportAskQuestions"}},{"__typename":"CoreNodeEdge","node":{"__ref":"Forum:board:CommunityFeedback"}},{"__typename":"CoreNodeEdge","node":{"__ref":"Blog:board:Announcements_Blog"}}]},"relatedContent({\"first\":5,\"post_id\":2400988})":{"__typename":"RelatedContentConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"RelatedContentEdge","node":{"__ref":"RelatedContentMessage:RelatedContentMessage:3681042"}},{"__typename":"RelatedContentEdge","node":{"__ref":"RelatedContentMessage:RelatedContentMessage:3679471"}},{"__typename":"RelatedContentEdge","node":{"__ref":"RelatedContentMessage:RelatedContentMessage:3672117"}},{"__typename":"RelatedContentEdge","node":{"__ref":"RelatedContentMessage:RelatedContentMessage:3446259"}},{"__typename":"RelatedContentEdge","node":{"__ref":"RelatedContentMessage:RelatedContentMessage:3628946"}}],"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":true,"endCursor":"MHwzNjI4OTQ2fDR8NTs1fHw"}},"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/community/Navbar\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/community/Navbar-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/community/NavbarHamburgerDropdown\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:text:en_US-components/community/NavbarHamburgerDropdown-1741694506000"}],"cachedText({\"lastModified\":\"1741694506000\",\"locale\":\"en-US\",\"namespaces\":[\"components/community/BrandLogo\"]})":[{"__ref":"CachedAsset:tex

I was lucky to find this Acutrac III. I seemed to be the only Ebay bidder and won it with a bid of $37.50 plus $12.95 shipping. Really felt kind of bad. Expected the bidding to get up to about $80 or $90. The meter looks and works like brand new. Box looked like it may have been on a shelf for a while.","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":0,"repliesCount":0,"postTime":"2016-10-17T19:09:56.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2016-10-17T19:09:56.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":409},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:RVTalk/community:feyqc97479board:RVMustHaves/message:2400988/message:2401021","replies":{"__typename":"MessageConnection","pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null},"edges":[]},"attachments":{"__typename":"AttachmentConnection","edges":[],"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"customFields":[]},"ModerationData:moderation_data:2401020":{"__typename":"ModerationData","id":"moderation_data:2401020","status":"APPROVED","rejectReason":null,"isReportedAbuse":false,"rejectUser":null,"rejectTime":null,"rejectActorType":null},"ForumReplyMessage:message:2401020":{"__typename":"ForumReplyMessage","author":{"__ref":"User:user:329475"},"id":"message:2401020","revisionNum":1,"uid":2401020,"depth":1,"hasGivenKudo":false,"subscribed":false,"board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:RVMustHaves"},"parent":{"__ref":"ForumTopicMessage:message:2400988"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:2400988"},"subject":"Re: DirecTV self powered setup meter recommendations?","moderationData":{"__ref":"ModerationData:moderation_data:2401020"},"body":"Mike, I will answer your question.

There must be a hundred ways to do it. I like the process I have been using and am not trying to convince any of you to do it my way.
My favorite campsite in my favorite campground, for example, requires that the dish is about 85 feet from my electrical bay, where my PI and splitter are located. I have a 7\", battery operated tv but to take it to the dish location I would need a receiver, 85 feet of power cable, another 85 feet of coax and an a/v cable to attach the tv. Then I would need a wagon to carry all this stuff plus the Slimline and tripod.
This, of course, is a worst case scenario, but I am a big fan of wooded campgrounds and frequently have to search a wide area for an open view of the 99/101/103 satellites.
Just as an update to the original post: I was able to find a like new, self powered, Acutrac III that works like a charm. Purchased on EBay for under $50, even with a good set of rechargeable batteries. All I take to the setup site is the dish, tripod, legacy slimline 3 LNB (the meter doesn't work with a SWM), my SWM Slimline 3 LNB and a compass. Once the dish is aligned I go and run my coax from the PI to the dish. Pretty quick, when you get used to the process.
I am happy with this setup after trying many of your suggested methods, in the past.

It has to take some time and a lot of work to take complete setup out to find your location.
I do most of my camping in a heavily wooded COE campground. There are some sites that I can't find a setup spot and several that require almost my entire 180' reel to get to a clear spot. It would be ridiculous to have to carry an extension cord to run a tv, power inserter and receiver out to my spot.
Personally- and this is just me- once you get the hang of aiming the dish, which took me about 2 camping trips, you don't need any kind of satellite meter. Waste of money to me. That being said, I've always had my wife to help when searching for a signal. But if you're by yourself- they sell meters on ebay for about 10-15 bucks. They work just fine.
