[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 795027, member: 301161"] No, you use a locked transponder for that. The main benefit of specky is satellite hunting. Once you find the satellite you are looking for you switch to digital mode to zero in. With a meter without spectrum display (or with a tv and stb) you use a unique transponder and then swing the dish about until you get a hit. You need to be almost spot on to start with. With a spectrum you point the dish roughly in the right direction and then pull it up and down until it crosses the arc. You always get a hit this way as there are satellites right the way along the arc and you don't need transponder data to get a hit. Once you know where the arc is it is simply a matter of going east or west along it until you hit your desired satellite (which you will be able to recognise from the spectrum fingerprint). [/QUOTE]
