Satellite AV Sample of the Week 9.16.2009
Every week, SatelliteAV will be giving away a sample product to a SatelliteGuy. The weekly prize will be awarded to a member who has posted to this thread during the previous week. The theme of the current entry requirement will be posted along with the sample information.
The receivers are manufacturing samples that have been provided by a manufacturer for testing or approval. Satellite AV has a ton of equipment to give away!
Important Notice: Satellite AV will attempt to provide as much information about the sample item, but we will not respond to questions regarding the product specifications or provide product support. Please do not PM or request product support from our sales or support team members. Failure to comply with this request will result in the termination of this contest. Please understand that instead of recycling these items, Satellite AV will offer SatelliteGuys hobbyists some pretty interesting stuff that may or may not ever be on the market!
The winner will be responsible for shipping cost and we will ship anywhere on your dime! All packages will be shipped by USPS or FedEx. If the winner wishes not to claim the prize or does not respond to our SatelliteGuys post and PM notification and provide shipping and payment information within 5 business days, the prize will be forfeited and the unit will be offered again in a future post.
This contest is open to any SatelliteGuys member in good standing with the exception of Satellite AV staff and members of their families. A random drawing will be made by a member of our staff after the closing of the drawing.
Have Fun!

Tested unit. Power Scanned several KU and C-band satellites and it found all expected channels. Unit also logs S2 transponders and does not lock-up. Very fast TP and Blind Scan. Interesting to note that there is no satellite list and just scans in whatever it is connected to! Very sensitive tuner and meter. Manually entered several transponders then used the unit to locate and peak the satellite. Unit has AV RCA type outputs only. Menus were intuitive and easy to configure. No manual is provided. No Motor motor control, but has 22KHz switch option.
