DirecTV self powered setup meter recommendations?
I have been RV’ing, using the DirecTV, Slimline 3 ever since they came out, replacing my Phase III. I switched to SWM soon after it became available. Tried the direct method for SWM setup, but got tired of unhooking and rehooking the receiver. I have used every method you can think of, to aim the dish. Finally, I settled on taking the legacy LNB and dropping it into the arm, hooking up my self- powered Acutrac III to max out the 99/101/103 before swapping to the SWM horn and running the cable to the PI. Pretty fool proof for me.
Alas, the Alabama heat has, apparently, ruined my old Acutrac III.
I haven’t been in the market for a setup meter in a few years and am way behind on the products available. I would be fine with a meter that just finds the ku satellites, as long as it is self powered, although a ku/ka would be preferable.
Any recommendations for a “simple to operate”, self powered meter in the under $130 range would be appreciated.
