The SOLID company launched the latest technology satellite dB meter in 2018, It is still a trending meter from other satellite dB meters. it used to measure the gain of your dish/DTH antenna. Now you will ask what is good or what is new in this sat finder then I will say it is the first satellite dB meter that has a Bluetooth interface and it can operate by your android Smartphone.
How you can use it:
Just unboxed your satellite dB meter from the gift pack and connect one LNB port to the dish antenna and the other receiver port to the set-top box. Now you will see green and yellow lights blinking in your dB meter. It means your meter connects with power and Bluetooth is on.
Now on your Smartphone, go to “Google Play” store and find “BT Sat Finder” by Shenzhen rrioo Technology Co., Ltd, and download and install it. This sat Finder app work with SOLID SF-540 Bluetooth Sat Finder hardware and shows satellite signal strength and signal quality when installing a satellite TV dish antenna.
By using this Sat Finder application, also could transfer transponder parameters to the Bluetooth Sat Finder. You can add and edit transponders in your Smartphone and send parameters to the satellite finder, you do need to carry a dB meter near the dish antenna. It has Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity to receive signals and send frequency details to the meter. You can use only your Smartphone while rotating or positioning your dish antenna in the right direction.
