Firstly a big thank you to DMS International for producing what must be the missing link in satellite meters. Until now there was huge void in the range of cost effective satellite signal meters.

There was nothing between the $40 Squawker and the Trimax SM2200 and the Trimax SM2500. Both these units feature a real time picture monitor as standard. The SM2500 also provided a spectrum analyzer facility as well

The First Strike FS1 Digital Satellite finder fills the void with an affordable solution in the shape of the FS 1. The FS1 is protected by a sturdy shock proof rubberized casing. These casings have been standard with multi meters for years and have saved more than one meter from disaster when dropped.

The SF1 comes with the following Accessories:

1: AC to DC mains charger.

2: Car charger.

3: F connector adapter

4: USB cable

5: Adjustable lanyard suitable to hand around ones neck.

(The eye lets which attach the lanyard to the meter case are substantial and wont pull out or slip.)

The FS1 will suit the avid enthusiast and the more technical installers. It reacts very rapidly to signal changes and is very easy to use making searching for satellites a whole new experience. The LED display is very easy to read and

easier to set up. It comes with a USB lead so that the software can be updated via your PC.
