mastecinstaller,
Who pays for your meter? Consider twenty bucks extra is the best I have found to install the 5lnb dishes. So five hundred divided by twenty is one hundred installations before you break even on the investment.
And then there is the occasional free pole.
And then there is the extra line to the recorders.
And then there is the occasional non responder back charge for the phones.
And then ,and this is rare but has happened at Ironwood- the occasional cx
who calls DTV to commend you for a great job generates a one hundred dollar
back charge.
I forgot the question.

Good points, Joe.

I personally use the Accutrac III which costs about half the cost of a Birddog.

Super Buddy meter with AT9KaKu or Slimline

Our Super Buddy meter lets you LOCK on and ID 101, 110, and 119 and then do your fine tuning on the Ka 99 & 103. I have received several compliments from installers using the Super Buddy that are doing a lot of Slimline and AT9KaKu installs. You can see the application note for it at http://www.appliedin.com/downloads/directvat9kaku.pdf

Thanks.
