Bente satfinder (with satellite recognition)

With satellite recognition

The Bente satfinder is a very easy to use satellite finder, and has built-in satelite recognition based on 5 pre-programmed satellite positions. This satfinder is easy to use, due to its simple design. The Bente satfinder does what people may expect of a satfinder; find the required satellite position! Nothing more ore less...

It's just a matter of selecting the required satellite via the “Select” button and turn the antenna to the South. As soon as the required satellite has been found the satfinder wil give a signal (both sound as light signal).

The signal strength and quality is displayed on the satfinder, so the best settings of the antenna can be done.
