To assist in frequency selection the BER or bit error rate is displayed in the list. A lower
value indicates a better signal. A BER of 1E-2 (0.01) or higher is poor and a BER of
1E-3 (0.001) or lower is very good.
In most cases it is best to limit the satellite search to transponders with a symbol rate
greater than 15 Msymb/s. A rate setting down to 3 Msymb/s is possible but scans will
become slower with decreasing rates.
Satellite list editing
Additions and deletions in the satellite- and transponder list can be made
directly in the SatID-menu. To facilitate editing of larger files an editing tool can
be accessed from the "Edit Satfile" button.
