Good afternoon! and you can’t give me a link for this particular firmware, do I really have the latest firmware? By the way, the device is constantly buggy! for no reason the signal does not see from the antenna sometimes it is necessary to reset the factory settings after the factory settings normally sees the signal with what can be connected? https://ibb.co/k3d2ymM
Do not tell me how else channels can be uploaded here with usb? so as not to manually add or edit.

[Feralkiwi]

All new software is on the download page.
The software for your unit is here.
The best way to get channels on your finder is to set up each satellite you need in the sat list and blind scan them.

Hello! So I have this version and it costs 02.2020! Well, although I updated with the same firmware, nothing has changed so far! I wanted to find out how transponders can be filled with USB so that they can’t be manually added to each satellite, maybe it’s not possible?

[Feralkiwi]

There is an editor for the finder.I have not used it my self.

Owen

[Lenovs123]

Thanks in general it is necessary to understand! As I understand it, using a computer, the channels are edited and then poured, but how it is poured through a USB flash drive I didn’t understand, I need to throw some file onto a USB flash drive, tell me which one?

[Feralkiwi]

To save your channel list "user Data" from your Finder-meter press Menu / down / right / and select "User Backup".

This menu allows you to save your list,if you have a USB in the finder.

Good afternoon! unpacked the folder from the archive on the computer alieditor launched it! then I selected the file as shown in the instructions, I get out such an error as in the photo tell me what could be the matter?

[Feralkiwi]

The easy way to get your TP list on the finder is to add the satellites you need and then blind scan them.
The picture look like you are saving the file not loading it with the alieditor.

I am not understanding what you want to do.

Good afternoon! I want to add a transponder and satellites for this program! I, as I showed in the photo according to the instructions, do not load the file that I select, it writes an error.

[Lenovs123]

I’m just doing things wrong there, just first a backup is taken from the device, but why is this file added through the Alieditor program, which I merged from the device, then the transponders are edited and then saved to the computer and then flashed back by this dempom I did everything according to the instructions and downloaded it back the fact that I edited me everything turned out thank you very much for the program.

[Feralkiwi]

You can add TP's in the menu of the finder.

Go to the sat you want on the satellite list, press the red button for the TP menu and then press the green button for add.

The same to add a satellite. press the green button for "More" and then the yellow button for add.
The text entry is like a cell phone.

Good afternoon! Well, before, I always did this, but added it directly to the device on the red button, added a button; which you gave gave and everything turned out fine all the gulf that you need.

Please I want to know where I can get a full video tutorial on how to use this meter.
I want to know how to use the meter to set or adjust the dish. So that when moving the dish, I can see the adjustment from the screen.
I want to know how the spectrum works.

[Feralkiwi]

To find a satellite with just the meter you need to have a good known TP set in your unit and move the dish slowly.
There is a beeper function that helps a little with this.

The best way to find a satellite is to use a tone sat finder in the LNB cable of the finder-meter.
Also using web sites like dishpointer dot com gets your dish in the correct direction first.

I then use the finder-meter to fine tune the dish.

do I need to back up then load new software?

Yes you have to backup?

Thank you for information

Hello! For no reason, my smoke went from where the 12-volt cord is connected, the controller broke through the device, A308 I had such a controller in stock, I re-soldered it, but when I turn on the device there is a short circuit! the last light should turn on red and it blinks and knocks like a short circuit here the resistor that went that I marked with an arrow came off where this contact was soldered to by an unknown can you tell? if the battery is tipped off, my device starts up, it only works 12 volts, and if the battery connects, a short one happens, where to look?

[Feralkiwi]

I posted some pics of the finder here. I hope you can see the values.

Owen

[Lenovs123]

r29 just goes from the microchip to the fifth leg, and now it goes with me, but at the end of the nickle and breaks out where it goes now the unknown even from the photo I can’t determine which they also laid out unclear on

[Lenovs123]

if you have such a device at the moment, if so, can you make a call where does this leg go to resistor 29 where is the nickle torn off where does this leg go?

[Feralkiwi]

Does this help?
