Emitor Satlook Micro+G2 NIT - Demo

Brief demonstration of NIT feature (identifies a satellite by using the Network Information Table on transponders), spectrum display and general measurements.

This compact meter has a 3" LCD, weighs in at 2Kg and at under £300 is within the reach of many hobbyists, but offers enough features and measurements to satisfy a professional installer, some of which like NIT are not available on meters six times the price.

Examples shown for two satellites. Spectrum trace: 18v Horizontal/Low band, full span.

Conclusion: A cracking little meter displaying all the necessary information required for dish alignment and of course, the main feature is being able to read NIT.

Added Info:

The latest Satlook Micro+G2 firmware also includes a GotoX / DiSEqC 1.3 / USALS function.

The G2 has a Latitude and Longitude function to enable entry of coordinates. Once the values are entered, the Satlook can be used to command a GotoX and move to a satellite orbital position. Carried out by using the control knob to indicate the angle and then pressing the black button to execute the function.

Information is in the above text. The meter will drive a DISEqC motor but not 36v. A receiver is not needed and connection is via a simple fly cable.

Hi, Thank you very much. I had see the text yesterday, thank you very much.

I tried he 36V actuator yesterday but must connected via the V-box to do that, it can move the disk and the positionf untion also worked fine. However, the Go to X has not work for me on 36V motor.

Thank you Robbo. I only has the 36 V motor. I wish somebody in this forum who are good at the meter do a video clip, that wil be handy.
