The hand held meters can help you get close, but you really need the receiver's meter to find the right sat. Beginners using the meters will often only see the DBS sats, but after you get more experience, you can see some of the regular sats in between, but I've seen some sats that just don't show up at all with the little meters. But if you use it to find the nearby DBS sats, it will help you find the general area of the arc, then you can move east/west from that to find the sat you're looking for with the receiver's meter.
