What is the best FTA satellite finder?

During the first part of December I had a repair in Montana that several FTA installers could not repair.  It was hard to understand but it happens. When I arrived to my destination 2 ½ hours later I started on the job right away.  When no one can figure it out, I generally get called out to fix the problems.  (It reminds me of on pure guy worked 3 days and could not align the customers dish, I when over and in less than 10 minutes we had signal.) For repairs it’s a matter of always starting from the TV set and working your way back, so I did.  I pulled out my Trimax SM-3500 and plugged in my meter to the line coming for the satellite dish.  I had already inspected the LNB’s frequency and so I set up my meter to G-19 and selected the lnb frequency.  My meter detected NO SIGNAL so, off I went directly to the ground block.  The ground block relieved that the gardener had wiped out the connection and had stuck the cable back into the fitting.  I cut out all the damaged cable and spliced the RG-6, put in a fresh ground block and plugged in my Trimax SM3500 meter.  Bingo, signal was back.  I exited out of my scan mode to the video monitoring to view the quality of the picture.  I love this feature because while viewing the picture quality I can hit the F2 key and simultaneously monitor signal and quality plus C/N levels.  I did notice that the quality was down a bit.  So, to the dish to re-align the signal quality I went.  I plugged in the Trimax SM-3500 to the LNB and in minutes I had C/N up to 11.5, 96 dbmv’s and 68% quality.  It was a very cloudy day with snow in the forecast, so I was satisfied with the levels the 3abn dish could get.  I really enjoy my Trimax sm -3500 meter.  It has made my job easier and always a profitable venture. A man is only as good as his knowledge the good Lord provides and works for and his equipment, wouldn’t you say?

Trimax SM-3500 the original satellite finder.

 

I was not surprised that the Chinese cloners started cloning the Trimax meters.  They know a good thing when they see one and they will try to take some of the market by making fakes that look like the real thing.  The clones look similar to the Trimax sm-3500 but that’s all.  The problem with clones is that although they look like the real thing they do not function the same.  Half the time you can’t read their menus or manuals due in part to the poor English translation.  The Trimax sm-3500 is the trusted brand by the professional installers community.

The operating system is more reliable on the Trimax satellite finder meters, menus are easy to navigate, plus it automatically calibrates every time you start up the , therefore, you never need to send it in for calibration.   There are so many features to the Trimax sm-3500 that I would recommend reading the manual available for download on our website.   I became a Trimax authorized dealer because I wanted to provide our customers with an easy to use and reliable meter.  Trimax fit the bill.  After 5 years my Trimax meter continues to perform reliably for every installation in any kind of weather.

Our company depends on the reliability and performance the Trimax meter offers to provide top customer satisfaction.  We support many FTA installers who need reliable equipment.  I always recommend the original Trimax SM-3500  before any other satellite finder on the market.

I have to tell you that technology has come a long ways with satellite finder meters. The Trimax SM-3500 digital satellite finder is the big daddy of them all.
