I had purchased a Channel Master 1007IFD for other purposes, but when I got involved with FTA it has been great for that. The battery power feature is very handy, but like many other rechargeable battery devices if you havn't charged it for a few months and grab it for a quick test, the battery will be dead (or fading fast). The
SF95 type meters are fine for the stronger DBS satellites and fit in my tool box easier.
