Our opinion on this device: In short: small, light, well thought out. All necessary functions are available. Despite its versatility, operation and menu navigation are extremely simple and intuitive.
A key feature is the power measurement, which is especially helpful with problems with Unicable LNB or receiver-powered multiswitches.
Another good feature is the transponder control, where 4 transponders (one transponder from each SAT level) are displayed side by side, allowing you to see at a glance whether an LNB or multiswitch level is disturbed or has failed.
Unlike many competitors, the device's F-connector has been designed as a replaceable dual F-female connector. This wear part can thus be easily replaced by the user in case of contact problems.
For a few more euros, you can get the Megasat HD 4 Combo V2, which, for SAT measurements, also includes a position sensor that greatly simplifies mirror alignment and also allows analog, DVB-C, and DVB-T/T2 measurements.
Unlike Far East products, with Megasat you can rely on good repair service and receive software updates.
