Have a look at the 2F reception map which Analoguesat has very kindly put together, the web address is in his autosignature. I don't see any entries of successful reception of 2F in western Norway.
The Satlink is fine with weaker signals, in fact that's probably when it's most useful to have a meter, you can establish if the dish is correctly aligned and it's also possible to identify what you're looking at, if you can't find the signal with a meter then you know it's not there, though more likely you'll see some of the signal but you can establish that it simply isn't strong enough with the dish you have.
Good luck

Just before Christmas I received my first WS 6918P, but I had to return it. Just a few days ago I got the new one, and as I understand, the instrument works well.
At my place on the west-coast of Norway I don't have the best reception(1.2m dish) regards to Astra 2F, but approx. 30 km to the west(parallel to UK spot) one guy get 80% Quality with a 1.2m dish.
The readings I have so far from the 5 tps are only
- 43 to - 45 dBm and
- 57 dBm. The Constellation diagram show a "burst/ dots" nearly all over(in a ring).
As I tried the tp. 10714 on Astra 1N I got
- 33 dBm and L86%/ Q100% reception.
I know I have to buy a new dish later this year, but I need an advice how to interpret the result so far?
(Is this correct: -45,22dBm = 0,00003 mW, -43dBm = 0.0001mW and -33dBm = 0,0005mW ?)
