Brief demonstration of NIT feature (identifies a satellite by using the Network Information Table on transponders), spectrum display and general measurements.
This compact meter has a 3" LCD, weighs in at 2Kg and at under £300 is within the reach of many hobbyists, but offers enough features and measurements to satisfy a professional installer, some of which like NIT are not available on meters six times the price.
Examples shown for two satellites. Spectrum trace: 18v Horizontal/Low band, full span.
Astra 28.2°East
View attachment 24188 New feature on the second generation Micro+ G2. Full spectrum trace as shown 18v/0kHz.
View attachment 24189 Measurements showing NIT information, SNR, BER (before correction) and constellation diagram.
View attachment 24190 SAT ID function searching for NIT.
View attachment 24192 Easyfind feature. Also showing NIT information, BER and confirmation of a signal lock. Audible tone during alignment.
View attachment 24191 Large constellation diagram also showing MER (Modulation Error Ratio).
Intelsat/Thor 1.0°West
View attachment 24197 18v/0kHz
View attachment 24195 As above, measurements showing NIT information, SNR, BER (before correction) and constellation diagram.
View attachment 24196 SAT ID function searching for NIT.
View attachment 24194 Easyfind feature. Also showing NIT information, BER and confirmation of a signal lock. Audible tone during alignment.
View attachment 24193 Large constellation diagram also showing MER (Modulation Error Ratio).
Conclusion: A cracking little meter displaying all the necessary information required for dish alignment and of course, the main feature is being able to read NIT.
