[VAL] Re: Satellite finders
Hi Joy,
It's not that the two finders that I bought don't work, I just don't
understand them! Both came from Camping World. One is the box that
you connect to the line from the dish to the trailer and is supposed
to beep loudly when you find the signal. The other is very small and
digital and you point it in a direction to find the coordinates. Both
seem like more work then it's worth! I'd like the kind that sits on
the roof and finds the satellite automatically too but Pearl doesn't
have much room on top!! I also prefer having a portable dish so that
when I'm under the trees I can run a long line from the dish to the
trailer and find a clear spot for a signal. I figure the set-up is
just part of the challenge of the day!!
