Perhaps somebody has some experiences using this instrument.
I've just bought a Digisat Pro.
Due to the last days strong wind my dish needed a realigning, and
using this instrument it was easy !
My questions:
Can it be used for a kind of measuring the loss through coax cable ?
I have roughly 25-30m of coax from LNB to receiver.
1.)
Results at the LNB (after realigning):
Signal: 99,0 - 100
(BTW: in what unit ??)
17.3 - 17.7 V
84 mA
2.)
Results at the receiver:
Signal: 59.1 - 59.5
17.9 - 18.5 V
84 mA
What is your opinion:
Could it be normal this high lost/difference (around 40) in signal ?
Or it shows that there are some problems with the cable ?
Should be changed to a new/better one ?
