Note: Even the smallest movement can get the sat or loss it. Think 1/8" to 1/4" movements toward the end of this process. Well at least for Ku digital.
Hook the meter up between the LNB and receiver. Note the meter is labeled at both ends. Rec and LNB.
Next make sure the meter lights up. It should light up after you turn on the receiver.
Turn the knob until the meter makes noise. Then back off until it stops.
Next move dish till meter makes noise again. Try to move the dish close to the sat you want. Sometime they are close.
Keep fine tuning the dish by having the meter make noise and then tuning the knob on the meter until it does not make noise.
Once you get close then try to blind scan for the sat. Once you have some transponders and channels pick a channel and use your receivers quality meter to make the last adjustment of the dish. Try to get the quality as high as you can.
Good luck and if anyone else can add to this please do.

Tron: I'm using it for Ku band. 0_o I plan on using the Extreme II LNBf.
Also, how do I use the SF-95? It looks like a finely tuned ammeter; but beyond that, I don't know how to work it. What does the dB gain knob do?
