Gone mobile...


Our newsletters have gone mobile.  Now you can enjoy our newsletters on your mobile device.

There are many changes going on here but one that I am really excited about is that our newsletters will be formatted for mobile viewing as well as viewing on your desktop monitor.

I realize that most of you guys work long hours and don't always have a chance to read your email on your desktop.  Now you can easily read our newsletters on your mobile device and just as easily respond.  Our friendly staff is waiting to take your order or help you with equipment questions.

Just another way we try to serve your needs.

March 2013 Satellite / Transponder list now available

The March 2013 Satellite / Transponder list is now available to registered owners of our First Strike meters and Sathero meters.

We have two lists, one for First Strike meters and one for Sathero meters.  Each list is formatted in the same way the information is formatted in the meter.  This makes it easy to understand and to load into the meter.

These lists are typically well over 100 pages.  The list covers all satellites around the world.  It comes in very handy for jobs that require parameters for a satellite transponder that you don't know.

It is easy and FREE to registered owners of our meters.  Just another way for us to thank you for buying our meters.
