[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 729619, member: 301161"] Just use spectrum for peaking the dish. Move the marker to the frequency you want to peak and watch the gross signal strength. MER, BER, and constellation are great for verifing afterwards, but due to their nature, i.e. the need to build up a history, they are far from real time. BER only works when there are errors, so once BER drops to zero (>E-8) it becomes a useless feature. MER and constellation are the same thing except one is a grafic representation and the other is a numeric figure. Both can be used to verify an install even when BER is zero, as they still show deviation from ideal even when there are no pre-viterbi errors. [/QUOTE]
