SatCom Electronicsô, Inc. of San Diego, California introduces the Digital Satellite Seeker (DSS-1001A), a hand-held signal strength meter that detects the strongest satellite signal reception. The Digital Satellite Seeker connects easily to any satellite antenna and allows users to achieve proper aim to the targeted satellite.
