1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This meter is simple and convenient for setting and aligning a satellite dish. Using the parameters of satellite, you can set and align a
satellite dish quickly, easily and accurately.
IA601 can be used for satellite spectrum line scanning, and gain the field strength and quality data. Especially with video decode, both
SD and HD channels, user can check the signal quality by video and audio performance directly.
