Audible Signal Strength

[Miller873]

I have an old, old receiver that indicates signal strength with sound through the TV speakers. I use it to aim my satellite when camping in my RV. This way I can hear the signal from outside the RV. Higher tone indicates a stronger signal. After finding the signal I then connect my HR 24 - 500 DVR. I would like to know if anyone knows how to make the HR24-500 make an audible tone to indicate signal strength. I am afraid my old receiver that I use for this will eventually shoot craps and then I won't be able to find the satellite when RVing. Thanks.

I don't believe any of the D* branded ones have the audible sound anymore, at least the newer generation.

Could you recommend an economical satellite signal finder?

How much do you have to willingly spend ?

Avoid the cheapo $15 one.

I've used the recvr for the majority of my set ups, just recently bought a Sat Pro lite.

What ever it takes to get a decent one.
