    Incorrect readings from Birdog 3.0

    I have a birdog 3.0 that is giving me false readings on Nimiq1. According to my meter I tune the dish to Q 100%, but when I connect a receiver, older birdog or other meter type the Q is around 60-70%. This happens every time I align a dish and it is causing me great frustration. Any one else ever expereince this problem and know of a solution? Perfect 10 has given me no solutions or responses to requests for support My meter is up to date on software config as I have been loading updates every time one comes out in hopes of getting it to work right.

    do you know that there is a fine tune setting on the birdog? after you lock the bird at 100% push the down arrow. Maybe this is your problem?

    Reading signal

    All ver Birdogs must show same % "Q" signal. But this % is not a same
    what show your receiver. Also, this is not a point to get right reading:
    the point is to get maximum as much as possible.

    If you try compare with another meter, both must be in same set up: Log scale, line scale...
