Antenna digital signal finder Model SL1000
I don't know if anyone bought this and had any better luck than I or my friend did? I purchased the SURELOCK Digital TV Signal Finder some time ago. The first time out it actually worked well enough...

The Surelock proved to be a waste of $$ for me also, much happier with performance of the Winegard SensarPro.
I have looked at teh "Sure Lock" and agree with sound guy. Waste of moeny. Plus it is a one trick pony (Signal strength)
The Sendar Pro does that.. but.
1: Scans for strongest signal and displays carrier channel and strength
2: Scanns for all signals and at the press of some buttons displays as above
3: Lets you select a SPECIFIC carrier channel and display the strength of THAT signal.. See note below on carrier channels.
4: Lets you adjust the gain of a 2nd Pre-amp.. Providing more gain than the antenna alone
5: Offers and "Audio feedback" option in case it is mounted where you can not easily see it when adjusting.
NOTE on carrier channels
In the old analog days if you were watching say Channel 2. that was 56 MHZ. (Vhf Low band. low end).
Today .. Well it can be any channel.. For example channel 2 DETROIT broadcast on Carrier channel 7, and Channel 7 on carrier 41. But channel 12 Flint.. is really 12.
THe channel displayed on the TV no longer need be the same as the Carrier.. THE TV will tell you (if you know how to ask) what the carrier channel is.. So will the Winegard Smart Phone App.
