The BIRGDOG satellite signal locator communicates with the satellites digital transmissions with "Unique Satellite Information Data" (USID). While most pointing devices only give you a general idea that there are indeed satellites in the sky and allow you to peak the signal, the BIRDOG takes you one step further by positively identifying the satellite.
The BIRDOG finds and identifies satellites with Digital Data Stream identifier (DDSI). Easily identify all 2 way Broadband Satellites like Directway and Starband. You select satellite from the menu, move your dish until the BIRDOG says "Found". Indicates raw signal level and digital data error rates at the same time for best dish alignment and cross polarity adjustment. Comes with Computer cord, AC charger, auto charger and carry case. Internal battery powers the LNB.
