Professional or not, decent meters are expensive. And you already have one in your tuner. Good luck.
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.
