    The Sat Buddy 2 measures relative RF signal strength when connected to a dish antenna. Its great for aligning a dish antenna to receive maximum signal strength, and for verifying signal presence within the in-house cabling network. The 22 kHz and DiSEqC™ switching capability allows the Sat Buddy to operate through many multi-switches. The Sat Buddy 2 is built with the same rugged weather-resistant metal enclosure as the Dual Buddy that will allow it to stand tough and give years of dependable service.
