[QUOTE="minterno, post: 777718, member: 376477"] hi smoky,i just bought a satlook lite last week and have been playing around with it for the last few days so i can answer some of your questions.first of all you cant enter a freq into the meter on the fly,it can only be done through the software supplied,the meter comes with 27 sats and one transponder freq for each sat pre installed,now some of the sats inc were of no use to me and one frequency per sat is'nt much good either but what i have done is to replace the sats and the frequencys with the ones of my choosing,so instead of having one tp on 28e,i entered 28e four times with a different frequency for each 28e,you can only have one tp frequency per sat so to get around this i just put the same sats in multiple times so in effect i have 4 frequencys for 28e 2 for 19e 4 for 16e and so on,the manual is not very clear at all and at first i thought that i had made a mistake buying it but once you have got used to the editor software you will find it easy enough to use,also its very sensitive and does what it says on the tin,i used it to install a motorised system and its worked a treat,the newer firmware includes a positioner to drive a motor and all in all i find it very good,very quick to boot up and the battery lasts a good hour and the unit can be powered by the dc jack if your stuck.the only minus would be that the lead/coax screws in to the bottom which means that its hard to rest on your body and is a bir awkard to use.if you have the money the satlook micro g2 seems to be the best of your stated choices,imho,regards [/QUOTE]
