Prior to connecting any amplifier, the meter must be connected to the coaxial cable. This set of cables is used to position the antenna for the best signal, so it should be installed very near the antenna during installation, then removed afterward. It's important to note that the meter registers only the total signal A good signal won't come from any particular channel, so you can't tell whether it's good.

Despite the fact that it was the cheapest unit, it was also the best. A device shake causes the tone and meter to jump around, which causes the text to be lost. It was always 50 degrees off magnetic north because the compass on the device was always pointing to it. The long cable run makes it very difficult to read the signal strength. My antennas are in the attic, so I took the device to the very end of the cable. I hooked the device directly to the antenna (you'll need a two-foot RG6 cable for it easier to read signal strength, but what I interpreted as the strongest signal was still 15 degrees off had to make several trips to the ATTIC to adjust the antennas manually a few degrees at a time until I was able to receive as many channels as possible.
There is not often that I say something like this, but this was awful. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the device, connect to the power source, turn the antenna until it reaches full strength, then turn the dial on the device until it achieves half strength, then tune the antenna to bring it back to full strength. It should be possible to hear an audible sound that indicates when you are getting a good signal. In the case of antennaweb, the audio and the meter went to full strength after the first connection when facing in the wrong direction. The organization. When I moved the antenna from its original location to another location, the meter and audible remained at full strength. In addition, I also realized it did not affect the meter when I turned the dial down. The product gets a low rating for its poor quality.
As you touch the sensor, your finger is positioned in the air. I'm not sure if it works, but I can probably conclude that it does We haven't. Having tried to troubleshoot with two different antennas, I had no luck, so I ordered a replacement. The antenna will be tested when it arrives and I'll find out (1) if it works and (2) what the meter shows about it.
The installation and use of the program are simple. The sensitivity of this transmitter is not as good as it could be, the ones coming in well did not show much strength of signal. The terrain in the area may be to blame, as well as the distance to local stations. A station closest to me is 35 miles away, and it is surrounded by several ridges, hills, and for the farther stations mountains.
You do not know what you're tuning into, whether you are tuning into a radio station, a cell tower, or if there are 20 tv transmitters in the vicinity. Aside from that, it is of extremely limited use. If you want to know what broadcast transmitters are actually picked up, it would be a good idea to invest in a more sophisticated meter.
This device adheres to the philosophy of KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. This device does what it's designed to do in a simple, easy to understand format for finding the best location and signal.
The antenna cable has this in it to help me aim it. There were no fluctuations in the meter, neither was there any signal being measured. The problem was probably caused by the fact that I was measuring the strength of an antenna signal rather than a satellite Due to the fact that it wasn't compatible with my application, I returned it.
