The psiber SignalScout SS40 allows for optimum antenna alignment as it is installed. The meter provides fast and accurate measurement of signal strength when tuning an antenna for a local TV channel. The SignalScout SS40 includes a built-in compass to quickly point the antenna at known transmitters reducing installation time. The unit also produces an audible tone that is proportional to the received signal strength allowing the user to get the best antenna alignment without looking at the display. The SignalScout includes a 10 dB amplifier for receiving weak signals from distant stations which indicates that an amplifier must be installed in the home system for certain TV stations.

The SignalScout SS40 can be used to measure a single channel or an entire channel plan. There is also a learn mode to develop a channel plan for a specific location. The meter measures Signal level, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)/ Modulation Error Ratio (MER), Tilt and provides Digital Error counts to verify the quality of the received signals. The SS40 is an essential tool for not only installation but also ongoing maintenance and troubleshoot.

The SignalScout also provides CATV service verification. The meter measures all channels in the 44 - 1006MHz frequency range. The SignalScout is 64/256 QAM fully compliant and DOCSIS 3.1 (OFDM) signal level compatible. Noise return power is measured through a 42MHz low pass filter.
