Yesterday I bought one of those 15 euro satellite finders only to find that it doesn't come with a length of cable and F-connectors. I don't have any F-connectors handy, so now I have to wait untill the shops open again to buy one.

Is this standard practise? The last time I bought an el cheapo sat-meter it came with a 20 cm length of wire with f-connectors mounted on each end.

where did you buy and what brand - more importantly does it say anything about a cable on the box ?

It shouldn't be a problem, I have loads of CT100 cable lying around (from a previous project which never got off the ground ), so all I have to do is buy a pair of f-connectors for a euro or so. But thanks for your kind offer! :cool:

The cable that comes with them is poor quality and somewhat short to avoid having the Satfinder close to front of dish.
