Hi everyone

I want to aim my dish to the satellite galaxy 25 at 97W (dish diameter 80 cm, I am in Toronto). I have a lot of difficulty getting the signal even though I make a lot of effort to fix the right angles (azimuth and elevation). Before few months ago, I was receiving this satellite. I know it’s an old satellite with a weak signal strength compared to the new satellites (and probably weaker than it was few years ago, the satellite being at the end of its life; some people suggest that the available energy to feed the transponders is weaker). My question for the experienced people:

- Do you think a satellite finder can be useful to help find the signal (and not to be just an outside replacement of the receiver; my receiver to which I have a visual acces from outside was not helpful for me to find the satellite signal)?

- Which kind of a good meter do you suggest (for a maximum budget of a 100 $)?

Thanks for your help
