    you are saying to keep the led light one
    is that right
    how do you check the sensitivity of the 2 meters
    have got a sky fixed dish should i check both meters on that dish and see which one gives the higher reading
    any comments

    when i connect the one which has got led
    as soon as i connect the lead from the box which will give power to the meter the 22khz led lights up
    when i connect the lead from the lnb in the meter
    there is audible tone and it shows reading of 4 when i keep the dial to 2
    if i increase the dial to 5 it shows full readin on the meter

    the other meter shows the same result a reading 5 when the dial is at 2 and full when the dial is at 5
    any comments now

    you are as usual vastly over complicating things that need not be so. both meters will do the job as will the one i have which cost me £3.00 ten years ago.

    SIMPLES.

    put a cardboard in between the lnb and the dish both meter knobs were at the same number on the dial which is 2 .to check sensitivity
    the one with led shows reading at 2
    the other one shows the reading of 1
    does that mean the one with led which is showing reading 2 is more sensitive then the other
    and so is the better out of the two

    wanted to keep the best one
    you would have or anybody would like to keep the best thing

    no offense though

    In that case, the best one for you, is the one you like to use.

    as I posted before

    either sat "meter" will do,

    in the end, all the "meter" does, is tell you that you are on a sat, the readings on the meter,s is fairly irrelivent, and not nessisarily accurate, the same goes for the sat readings on any reciever

    a proper sat meter, would cost a fair bit of dosh, telling you what sat you are on, with a full spectrum

    both those sat meters do a simple job, ie, you are getting a signal

    and a pile of redundant cards/cams

    Mine is more like the unit on the right. The one I have produces an audible tone which changes with the signal strengh, I find that very useful as it is not always easy to watch the meter as you move the dish.

    Hey,

    Very informative and Nice discussion you all have...
    Satellite imagery is sometimes supplemented with aerial photography, which has higher resolution, but is more expensive per square meter.
