Fortec Mercury II Review in Tele Satellite

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just got my copy of the Tele Satellite International Magazine and inside there is a great review of the Fortec Mercury II receiver.

I have been using the Fortec Mercury II for a few months now and LOVE it, infact is has become my main FTA Receiver. And I am not just saying this because they are a Gold Sponsor here, thats how much I like this receiver!

If you get Tele Satellite International check out the review, if you don't get this magazine your missing out, every issue I get the feeling much like I did as a kid getting the Christmas Toy Catalog in the mail. There are so many cool FTA Products shown in this magazine!

Thanks Scott! How is the blind scan speed?

You can make it as fast (12 kHz per step) or as slow (4 kHz per search step) as you want

Thanks! I was just wondering scanning time how long it took compraed to the Lifetiem. I been reading the review in the review section, and it sounds real nice

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

From what I remember (Its been awhile since I have used the Lifetime Ultra) it is much faster.

Thanks Scott, I think this is the one I will get

Hmmm, I am going to have to look at thier review and see how it compares to mine

Scott, I agree with you about the mercury II. I have three different types of FTA recievers: pansat 2700, satworks 3618 and fortec mercury II. The Mercury II is my reciever of choice.

I am farily new to FTA, but I have a coolsat 5000 and a Mercury II. I use my mercury II all the time and the coolsat is off to the side if I want to play with stuff. I have no experience with any other receivers but being a newbie, I really liked the Fortec and it has controlled my motorized dish without any problems. (my coolsat got messed up a few times)

 

[Sadoun]

The quality of the Mercury II receiver is phenomenal. I don't remember getting one back from a customer. Thanks Fortec for such a good receiver.
