Let me understand this mathematics. You are tracking KU band with small dishes and you still complain about not getting the signal you are hunting for, your problem isn't costly tools, it's knowledge, try to learn more.
Frankly speaking, buying tools worth 80k for tracking small dishes is stupid thinking and lazy attitude. With sound knowledge, you actually don't need the tools for installing small dishes.
In Onitsha I personally tracked NigComSat in 5 minutes with 60cm. Once you are knowledgeable enough on satellite installation, no KU band should cost more than 10 minutes on small dishes.
Expensive tools should be for big dishes, 3m and above. Tracking small dishes with ready made tools won't help sharpening your skills, it's like someone who wants to learn how to drive with automatic vehicle, such person will never understand how gear works.
I am not saying that tools aren't good, they make stuff easier but why should someone pay 80k for tools to track multi TV, Champions, NigComSat etc. It's cheer waste in my opinion but if you have the money, fair enough buy them.

You are right to some degree. There are many ways to learn a thing. I can become a pro frm d experience of using those tools. Don't discourage those who chose to follow that route. Besides, acquiring those tools now is definitely good investment. Different strokes 4 different folks y'know.

I am not discouraging anybody but seeing how everybody talks about that when 99% of them don't track buds is not encouraging. Using these tools won't make you a pro, it will make your work easier. Does buying quality boots and jerseys make you a pro footballer, it makes you look like one. It's knowledge that will make you a pro. Like I said those tools will never enhance your tracking skills, quote me. You get use to them and when it's taken away from you, you continue to struggle but I said if you have enough money to buy it for your small dishes, it's very OK. It's good to learn other ways.
Theoretically, it's not worth it. That's my opinion though.

well for those who know me well, they can tell of me, I have been into installation business over ten to twelve years, whether tools or no tools I install dish of all kinds I am only just telling u if u want to take installation of satellite dish as a carrier, there is need for u to get the necessary tools to help u track and align ur dish easily, I am not selling tools neither am compelling u to come and buy from me, when I Was in warri delta state I was running a cable business then I was having over 400 people I Supplied cable tv to which they use in their houses, I supplied general hospital warri, Npa, Ijaw quarters, water board and A' Division police barracks, I never hired anybody to come and assist me for any installation, neither will I ever do that, I,did not take installation of satellite dish as a carrier , Am a senior police office still in the service , seeing me here in the Nairaland does not mean i am looking for somebody to give me a job of dish installation ,I am only trying to give out the little idea I have to other who may have not know or have known and still willing to learn the more, my friend since u are a professional installer that does not need any tools before installing a satellite dish , let those who feel they need the tools enhance their prfessionaliism be. Anyway thanks for ur advised and Have a nice day.

Don't take it personal, if you read my post well, I said it's not necessary for small dish users but for installers who install all kinds of sizes of dishes, they need it most. I also said if one has the money then no problems but if not why waste money on gadgets when you can learn well and improve.
I don't have anything in mind against you. This is the first time I wrote on the forum for a long time but I usually follow. I still have responsibility to guide and advise members of this forum like every other oldie does here like Odilibe, Dlee1 and many others who were here and always observe things and contribute when necessary.
My message is simple, those who deal on small dishes shouldn't task themselves for that.
Those who deal on all kinds of sizes of dishes, it's necessary. I don't think I offended you, if I do I would apologize, so do not feel bad unless you have something hidden but I don't think so.

I am into downlink equipment installation, Vsat installation, Cctv/IP cameras installations and hotspot configuration etc, these are the major reasons while I acquired those items and there are lot more on the way, I don't sell, and remember dish installation is not limited to ku band based on your explanation. My friend like I have earlier said I am a government worker and into many businesses I have the money to acquire whatever I want and it is an assets to me, remember the world is going digital we all need to move along, we need to be dynamic and not to remained static.

I am not taking it personal, people have satlink meters which they are using, is just that I decided to buy this expensive one for my job now and future ambition, and am really enjoying it, the compass and the angle finder which is the inclinometer is not expensive all that much, I even told people if they cannot afford it they download the compass in their phone that it will help them a lot, my friend why I decided to replied to ur comment was that u said I need more knowledge which of course is true, I am learning every day even here in nairaland.we are all learning no one is an island, that fact is that some of us always want to castigate people that they know more than everybody which is not a good reputation at all. Well am a christian I don't easily pick offence from people, because we all have different characters based on the fact we all are from different background. Well if I have offended u in my speech forgive me we are still together.

hello satelite landers. i need more info on the nigcomsat.is it stable now.i have climbed up last week spending 2hours trying to add it to my multi using 3in 1 lnb on 60cm.

i couldn't nail that bit*h .so i thought it was off.i use the to 12518 h 29500. pls gurus.i want to try again this morning .I want to know the actual position of this nigcomsat from multi joy . i mean the 42.5e .is it left up from joy or right up. also can 60cm nail this bird easily when combined.

i also want to clarify when the signal is always up so as to know when to climb up.also when you guys says it goes off .sometimes.does this mean that if i successfully track it and it goes off.will i have to climb up and retrack again or is it just signal that goes off and comes back later without having to retrack.so much question .just to confirm.
