Seems my lads egnoring my texts now got a feeling he doesn't want to do it.How hard are they to set up,do I need an expensive meter or just a cheap one
If you need to be up a ladder, it can be quite awkward - you can get a cheap signal meter but it doesn't tell you what satellite you're locked onto so they're no good on their own.
You would need 2 people ideally - 2 of you to carry it up the ladder with one of you holding it into place whilst the other tightens it up then one go indoors and keep and eye on the signal level / channels on the box to tell you when it's got a signal then just tweak it if need be.
Ideally you want a channel list on the receiver first - you would also need to program your longitude and latitude into usals. Make sure you use the elevation table that's in the back of your motors manual.
Where are you located?
