[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 794563, member: 325666"] The speccy on F15 does work ..and quite well.. Granted it will never be as good as a dedicated meter/speccy ..but can be used to find sats when scanning the arc. It will tell you which are the most promising transponders/frequencies to scan.. It will work in bar mode ..or single line mode..depending on which version software is in use.. There are 3 agc levels to choose from ...and it is possible to set a zoom mode for a particular area of the spectrum. I used it to find 43 west in C band ..even before I ever managed to scan in a Cholusat ..which was never possible during a blind scan ..as its just too weak ..and required the signal build to a usable level ..before scanning it and logging it in. ..but of course ..the one thing that the F15 has going for it above all else ..is the exceptionally sensitive tuner. There are more elaborate and versatile receivers out there ..but for dxing those weak ..fringe ..channels ..I'd say it has the edge. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
