Decent sat finders

My boss wants to buy a decent sat finder, as do I, but all the prices seem a bit crazy. Were bing told €600 for only a small one. And €60 for a tiny one that whistles. Can anyone reccommend a place and a price for a decent and cheap one? Thanks... and

Merry Chrismas

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Go for a Satlook Micro+, super little meter.

I agree with you Rolf that this is a super little meter but the one I have doesnt like low symbol rates which might be a problem in some cases.

Cheers.

Well its really becoming a important tool. The sat finder that i have is quite small ( And not all that proffesional looking). So a new one is a must. I like the look of the one you mentioned rolf.

If you want to go for a better one, get the satlook NIT €779, this is the one I use in preference to my other more expensive spectrum analyser.

It is well worth spending the extra.

Didn't know about the problems with the low frequencies ouagadougou, have you spoken to Emitor about it?
