and bar graphs.
Another measurement value is the forward error correction (FEC) and the bit error rate after
Viterbi (VBER). In addition, the picture quality can be revised on the high-resolution 8.9-inch
TFTLCD screen.
Many satellites are pre-programmed in order to an quick antenna adjustment.
There is a protective pouch for transport and as a protection.
