From satellite dish alignment, to UHF off-air antenna pointing, to cable TV MER measurements, the XR-3 is the meter for you! The XR-3 is the most capable meter offered by Applied Instruments. It’s more durable than the popular Super Buddy meter, and has added features and performance. It's modular design with field swappable modules provides wide versatility to fit different measurement applications, including DBS satellite, VSAT satellite, VHF/UHF off-air, and CATV (QAM and analog).
The XR-3 is economically efficient because it allows you to choose only the test modules that your application requires. In the future as your testing needs change, you’ll need only a new module, not an entire instrument. It's great for installing and troubleshooting DISH SmartBox, Holland Electronics, and other SMATV headend systems often used in hotels, multi-dwelling units, and institutional facilities.
Once you've decided to make the best purchase of your career, you'll need the right "slide and click" module to fit with your application needs, check them out here:
