Satlook NIT is CHEAP compared to the other manufacturers, just look at Promax and Unaohm, they are all priced almost 3 times the price of the Emitor model.

For a one of installation or only occasional use, the digisat pro by Emitor is a useful tool. With a motor like the Moteck, it has drive buttons on the motor body, so you don't need a meter with DiseqC functions.

well, assuming you mean set up, and not tracking with a motorised mount, then i use the following it seems bizzare but hey, works every time it gets windy (i have a 1.9m "wind magnet"- you know what i mean!!) anyway, i just use a decoder, eg technosat 5500 and set it to signal strength meter and a portable tv and wiggle the dish until i get a good signal.

hi mkkid,
why do you want to move the mount with the meter?, i use a 40£ satfinder kit out of wotsat, it has a analogue meter,(one wiv a clock and hand) bat pack fly lead and compass.
this works very well for setting up and checking later.
regards
phil
