Which satellite receivers have built in spectrum analyzer?

[BombedOne]

I've researched a lot of this subject, in attempts to find cheap receiver with built in spectrum analyzer, but not so much results. So far, results are as follows:

1. Relook 400
2. Tripple Dragon
3. Clarketech HD5000C+, DR HD F16, Technomate TM 6900 Super +
4. Openbox/trimax/etc clones, mostly marked as "SF-30"

anyone knows any models I've missing?

Are they still manufactured/available new?

Afraid not as they were manufactured in the late 90s. You can try ebay

Didn't know that, how do you get to that function? Got an old 9600 in the loft.

PS. Emitor do a cheap unit called the Spectralook, designed to sit alongside your satellite receiver fed from the loopthrough, works well. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/meeting-place/13048-special-member-offer.html

Thanks for offer, but this unit seems to be too simple - no zooming, no tp locking....

The box has to be connected to a pc either via rs232 or scsi port. You will need a utility program called DvbEdit, this has the function for the spectrum analyzer. DVBEdit 5.0 build 61 was the last release.

Scanner options:

Much improved scanner. The scanner now generates a calibration scan the first time a particular LNB configuration is used. When this scan is operating, you need to remove all signals from the LNB by simply taping a piece of cardboard in front of the LNB. DVBEdit then uses this calibration scan so that the scanner charts aren't so dependent on the output signal from your LNB and on the sensitivity of the Nokia tuner.

Thanks, but how fast is screen refresh? is it usable for dish adjustment/installation purposes?

Its been a while since i last used it m8 ( over 6 years ago), sorry can't recall if the screen refresh rate was fast. Don't have the same setup to try and test for you. Only have a laptop with no serial port :mad: and dbox1 is in the loft collecting dust.

It takes 6 min on Nokia 9600 to scan a sat.

The result on Astra 28.2E in Moscow looks like

Are you sure that the ClarkeTech HD 500 Combo Plus, has a spectrum analyzer, as I cant find any mention of it in any spec for the receiver, when I google it.
