Complete more installs faster and better using the Super Buddy meter!

Be sure of your bird" with the positive ID feature or use the automatic scan to identify the unknown satellite.

Tired of loading new satellite plans? Super Buddy’s geo- sensitive "Field Guide" shows you just the birds visible to your install– ALL of them, and their individual transponders.

Navigate easily from bird to bird with left/right arrows and through individual transponders with up/down arrows. It’s the BEST and the EASIEST!

Don’t know the angles for your antenna? The zip code look-up gives you elevation and azimuth for whichever satellite you select.

• Multi-switch control? DiSEqC? - "They’re in there"
• Durability? - "The best"
• Voltage/current measurements? - "Of course"
• DirecWay cross-pole? - "That too"
• Signal compatibility? - "DSS, DVB-S, Digicipher 2 and Dish 8PSK. Wow!"

Satellite delivery is becoming more complex, but the Super Buddy makes it easier! Handle the toughest jobs better, faster and cheaper with Super Buddy.

• Signal Level (dBm, dBmV or dBµV) with present and peak bargraph

• bility to LOCK on WildBlue internet satellite and able to identify relevant geographic-specific WildBlue spot beam based on your Zip Code
• Ability to LOCK on new Dish Network 118.7 and 129 satellites with 8PSK signals
• Ability to do new DirecTV AT9 KaKu Installs (Can LOCK on and display signal strength for 101, 110, and 119 and will display signal strength for 99 and 103)
• Ability to do new DirecTV MFH1 Installs
• Ability to control new Zinwell 6x8 Multiswitch
• Ability to save proof of performance readings (actual signal level & quality measurements) and then upload them to your PC to give to the head office BER (Bit Error Rate, Reed Solomon)
• Zip Code Lookup - Ability to obtain needed azimuth, magnetic heading, and elevation for antenna install preparations based on your Zip Code
• Tunable to individual transponders
• Quick Charge Battery
• Ability to manually enter new custom satellites using front panel keypad (ideal for lab use or military classified satellite use)
• Rugged durable aluminum case with rubber shock guards and weatherproof gaskets
• Troubleshooting ability (Can display Voltage supplied by IRD and Current drawn by LNB)
• Works with both normal and stacked frequency plans
• Current Limit Level of 600 mA; This is enough juice to power even the Dish Pro Plus 3 LNB setup and the Dish 1000.2, which are the "current hogs" of the industry

WildBlue has revised the signal modulation style for some of their spot beams and plans to implement the changes to all of their spot beams within the next 6 months or less. The change (implementation of downstream multi-rate technology) will result in the Super Buddy meter not being able to obtain a LOCK or to display a signal quality value. The Super Buddy meter continues to provide a signal level (dBm) on the new modulation type. The zip code lookup table also remains accurate for tuning the meter to the correct frequency/beam number.

When using the Super Buddy meter to align the WildBlue antenna, the alignment optimization will have to be accomplished using only the signal level measurement displayed on the meter's left bar graph and dBm value below. You will not obtain a signal LOCK and your right bar graph (signal quality) will not be active. Without obtaining the signal LOCK on your meter, a positive ID of the satellite is not assured until confirmed with the modem. This means for the dish alignment, more care must be taken to grossly align the azimuth (magnetic compass heading) of the dish before peaking off of the meter's signal level and may require using a compass.

• Super Buddy meter displays calibrated signal level (dBm)
• Zip code lookup still displays azimuth and elevation of dish
• Super Buddy meter still looks for correct spot beam based on zip code entered (no need to use APA device to aim dish) if you have the Super Buddy meter
• Super Buddy meter can still power the WildBlue TRIA if you have a Blue Bunny voltage step-up accessory

The Super Buddy meter is still the most versatile meter on the market. It is compatible with the latest offerings from EchoStar (Eastern Arc) and DIRECTV (SWM-ODU).

For best performance be sure that you have the latest North American Field Guide (v1.50), Software (v2.13), and Zip Code database (v1.05) installed in your meter for proper operation
