Lacuna sat meter2

[simonglovers]

Hi all,
I posted about a week ago reagarding my satmeter 2(lacuna)and problems lining up on 16e.
i got hold of lacuna who said they were updating the software settings 16e and he would email it to me and it would be on the web site earlier this week.
i didnt get the new software via email but it did appear on there website.however it has now disappeared and i cant get hold of lacuna.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,

There are older datasets available on the Lacuna website here:

_http://www.metersupport.co.uk/datasetsat2.htm


It is also possible to edit it using satmeter3.02

available here:-

_http://www.metersupport.co.uk/sat2loader.htm

There is a password needed for Satmeter.exe. I know what it is, PM me if you want it.

Hi thanks for the response i have tried those address's and the links dont work

 

[Robbo]

Oh, yes they do.

I take it you removed the _

 

[simonglovers]

sorry your links work. but when i click on the north/south datasets they dont.
i fear i'm not expert enough to use the data picker.
just a simple installer here.
thanks

Yes, when I clicked on some of the datasets they didn't work either.

So I worked my way down until I found one that did download OK.

eg this one _http://www.metersupport.co.uk/datasets/Sat2%20data/UK%20MkII%20230108.sat

cut and paste that into your browser.

The north and south databases are no good to you anyway for 16E, as they are for 28E.

The satpicker is no good either, as it doesn't allow you to change transponder details

The satmeter 3.0.2 however, does allow you to edit all transponders for all satellites, though doing so, may muck up the meters ability to distinguish one satellite from another as the meter doesn't have NIT so uses unique transponders for each satellite, so it can work out which sat its picking up.

Though the meters are sensitive enough, I got shot of my Lacuna, and got something, that in my opinion is far superior,that reads the NIT, much easier and quick to use meter for the "simple installer". Data sets are not required as you can store frequencies using the meter itself. The Emittor Saltlook Micro +G2 NIT.
