I am looking for some one in the Ottawa area or eastern Ontario who is familiar with Birdog meters and would be willing to talk to me. Specifically, I am looking for some one that can explain what the meter can and can not do. What I what to be able to do is aim a dish and have reasonable certainty that I am peaked and on the desired satellite. The second thing I want to be able to do is have some idea of the real signal level that I am actually receiving. In addition to that I am hoping that I might be able to look at individual transponders for use when you might be on the edge of a spot beam. I have other questions but that’s a good start.
There is a whole range of models available on the used side and while the newer ones allegedly do more they are at the same time more expensive and may not do things that I really need.
The people who use these meters for installation of Shaw and Bell dishes do this for a living and I have found either not willing, even for some compensation, to explain its operation or they just don’t know.
I hate to say this in a forum but I am open to suggestions!
