CableTronix Digital/Analog Signal Level Meter

Been using this for 2 weeks and it tracks dead on with the 3000 dollar plus equipment I use everyday.  I bought this to have as a back up and so far it definitely exceeds my expectations.  This is a professional grade piece of equipment!  B&H was quick on delivery...

Slow to read

It is very slow to respond, compared to a JDSU unit, although the is new out of the box was unable to provide proper readings and many times did not provide a reading at all specially C/N ratios. ingress sweep as well as very very slow.
