Attenuator

If the incoming signal is very strong (the bar in the thermometerscale reaches 100%)

it can easily be attenuated with a push on the OK button (about -20dB).

Press down the mode button again when the antenna is pointed in the right direction.

This will put the meter in the

Digital-mode

Hopefully, but not always, the digital readout; BER (bit error rate) and C/N

(Carrier/Noise) will correspond well with the analog setting of the antenna.

Quite often the antenna needs to be re-directed a little bit in order to maximize the

digital-values (which are of more importance then the analog readout).

The PRE-BER value (before correction in the demodulator) is the most useful signal

for aligning the antenna. The POST-BER value (after demodulator corrections)

increases in correspondence with the increasing of the PRE-BER value.

Pressing the Mode button again will take the meter to the

Multichannel-mode

where the analog (dB) signal strength of up to 30 channels can be easily readout.

The display shows six channels on each page and there are five pages. Step through

the pages with the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons.

The

Spectrum-mode

is accessed with another push on the MODE button
