Also, I am searching for a VePAL-100 battery pack (for VeEX CX1xxx). I am not concerned about the battery state itself.

Hi, Does anyone happen to have a FW upgrade file (any) for Sunrise Telecom and/or VeEX CM2xxx/CM3xxx devices? If so, could you send it to me? Thanks, Vitor

Just to add: the Satlook Digital is almost the same as the Satlook Digital NIT, but it lacks the NIT string on the front of the device and, more importantly, the NIT PCB. This PCB is responsible for the NIT function that shows, after a successful signal lock, the satellite name and the channel...

That is not correct. The Satlook Micro uses a NiMH battery pack composed of 10x 1.2V AA NiMH batteries. It has a thermal probe inserted as a security feature for the charging cycle, hence the four wires. 14V might not break it but strain the circuit. The Satlook Digital and Satlook Digital NIT...

Just connect a 12V power supply to the battery connector of the meter. Use some wires and make sure you don't mix polarity (+ and -).

Can you do a simple test: connect 12V DC to the battery connector and see if the meter powers up normally. I still believe the problem is a totally dead battery. Apart from your desire to get a new meter (fully understand that), I would be interested to know if I am right on this. Back to your...

The Satlook Micro only switches on if the battery has some power left. Even if it is at the end of its life, if it can hold a little charge, it will power on the meter and then the power brick will keep it alive. If you remove the battery or if it is completely dead, the meter won't start. You...

I own 4x Satlook Digital NIT. I paid less than 100 Euro for each, the last one was purchased for something like 25 Euro + Shipping. I got them from Ebay. I recently bought a Satlook Color HD, also for less than 100 Euro. I think that for hobbyist satellite DX, the Satlook Digital range is the...

Batteries are often missing, because overseas shipping does not allow them to be included.

Out of curiosity, I checked AliExpress and found that this receiver is not sold to Portugal. After a bit more research, I understand the reason is the EU embargo against Russia - this is a Russian product, hence why most of us cannot see the offers on AliExpress. On AliExpress, change your...

Just to clarify: my software is just a front-end spectrum analyser for different hardware platforms. It will NOT demodulate any signal!

I don't know what the difference between the EU and non-EU model is. I am pretty sure that both v1.65 files are the same (mine and the one sent by Rover). You can ZIP them both and compare the CRC value. If it is the same, then both files are equal. Over time I have collected all FW releases...

Sorry I did not respond to your PM or on this thread, sooner. I was busy with work and family. Attached is all I have for the STC and STC+. Make sure you use the correct files. You can download the SMART software from Rover Instruments. Kind regards, Vitor

Congratulations on the baby! Regarding the Digitcube, i does not have MPEG4 decoder, as already mentioned. You need to try with an MPEG2 broadcast, typically using DVB-S, DVB-T or DVB-C. All DVB-S2 transponders I am aware of, use MPEG4. Also, some DVB-T transponders (like here in Portugal) use...

My opinion is the same for decades.... If you are a professional installer, do your math and purchase a professional field meter. This will do the job efficiently and you can document all installations in a serious manner. It adds credibility to your business, too. If you are a serious...
