Need a good signal meter for the Arctic

I'm looking for a new meter that will work in Alaska. I have a Sathawk, an AcuTrac22 Pro and a Satellite Finder. Nothing works very well further north than 119 except the spectrum analyser that the local DISH supplier used. Once I stumble on a satellite, such as T5, I get a great signal. I suspect the problem is that these satellites are close to the horizon (less than 10 degrees), and that there is more radiation interference in the Arctic because of the Aurora Borealis. In any event, I'm looking for a signal meter that has a better chance of working up here than the three mentioned.
