For $170.00!!!! That sounds a bit steep to me. Seems like you could do the same thing with a protractor and a compass. Here's an angle finder from Harbor Freight for $5.99. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=34214

NICE TOOL!

Seen them at a few trade shows around the country!

I use the below inclinometer/compass satellite finder. Seems to be a lot easier and quicker to use. And you can shove it in your pocket!

In this thread you can see a picture of a tool I made myself from a bit of wood cut to 38º and a tube!

Thanks Sidekick and PSB, I thought that price was a little steep. It can probably be found for a cheaper price elseware.
I like your site survey tool PSB , That's a handy one, I'll have to make me one Do you happen to know the price for the inclinometer/compass satellite finder on dmsiusa.com
