SatHawk 5000

Digital Satellite Signal Meter with Positive Satellite ID

The meter is supplied with a shock absorbent ABS case to help protect it from the elements and any unavoidable knocks and bumps in the field. The yellow case has an ergonomically angled screen that maximizes visibility and enables hands-free use when the strap is worn.  The meter is operated using a three button control panel and the vital tasks can be completed with one hand.

Information is shown on a four line, LCD panel, giving readings of both Signal Strength and Picture Quality (BER) together. On this model the BER can be shown as an exact number or as a bar graph that shows rise and fall. Other main features are:

• Easy selection and identification of chosen satellite

• Compatible with all transmissions: Ku and C band DVB and DSS

• Can be calibrated to suit local BER & Signal Strength conditions

• Four line display of the vital information. 

• Picture quality measurement to maximize the accuracy of both cross-polarity and pointing accuracy.

• Removable NiMH high-capacity battery

• Recharge in the field using car lighter adapter.

• LNB short circuit protection

• LNB power supply

• Shock absorbing ABS protective body

• Field replaceable F connector

• Control of 22kHz and DiSEqC-type switches (software controlled only - not user controlled)

• Simple use with a Six-button control panel.

• Robust and lightweight. The unit weighs less than one kilo (2.2 lbs)
