Home > Signal Meters > BIRDOG-USB

BIRDOG-USB (V 3.00): This satellite identification Meter is an innovative professional satellite identification and alignment meter. This device is easy to operate.  The signal strength and picture quality (BER) meter will speed up and improve your dish installation.

If you are a  professional installers and want a finder that can identify a particular satellite, then this is the one!  Also a great tool for mobile UPLINKERs

BirdogUSB box content:

• BirdogUSB meter

• Hi capacity Internal Battery

• Simulated leather carrying Case

• DC Auto Charger

• AC Charger Cord

• USB Interface Cable

How does it work?

It communicates with the satellite's 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.  

Easily identify all 2 way Broadband Satellites like DirecWAY and Starband. You select the 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. 

• Why drag a TV and satellite receiver to the roof, when you can do the whole job with just a small and easy to carry tool like this! 

• At less than 2 lbs in weight, you can carry it anywhere you want.

• It has a LOOP OUT to connect to your receiver if you wish. 

• Don't waste your valuable time or money on cheaper analog meters.  Use this professional meter for all your installations.  This digital satellite meter will maximize the number installations any installer can perform in a day and is very easy to use.

• What used to take half an hour to an hour now takes a few minutes to find and peak the signal! Time is valuable, why waste it!

• Improve your service call efficiency and speed.

MAKE YOUR INSTALLATION BUSINESS FLOURISH WITH ONE OF THESE!

NOTES:  

• We RECOMMEND THAT THE INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING IS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 6-12 HOURS. By charging the battery for 12 hours, enables the cells to balance out, this enables the batteries to operate 100 %. This is also applicable in a Meter that has not been used for 6 month.  Don not over-charge.

• Testing also revealed that in extremely cold weather (around 34 degrees and below) the battery level could drop as low as 10% of the original charge if the meter (and LNB) were left exposed for an extended length of time.

• We recommend to keep the meter battery charged as high as possible in extreme weather. 

• Keep the meter (and LNB if practical) warm until time for use.

• Battery is guaranteed not to be DOA (Dead on arrival, i.e. non functional).  

• The Mfg warranty does not cover the battery.  See return policy about batteries.

Satellites supported:

The BIRDOG satellite menu can be reprogrammed to include only the satellites you are interested in (stores up to 64 Satellite locations).  With the purchase of this meter you will be able to download satellite information and update your BIRDOG via the web (very easy and takes about 2 minutes). The list of satellites supported below is subject to change without advance notice.
