if your antenna is aligned cor-
rectly to the desired satellite,
you can initiate a transponder
search right away and work
yourself from correct to opti-
mum alignment. Once the de-
sired satellite and transpond-
ers have been confirmed, the
CB200 HD begins to measure
away immediately and dis-
plays signal strength, signal
quality and BER on the screen
both as bars and with exact
numeric values. The currently
measured transponders can
easily be changed with a sin-
gle touch of a button, a bonus
that pleased us no end during
our test. In addition, the LOF
and DiSEqC parameters can
be adjusted just as conveni-
ently. The manufacturer has
pre-set frequently used LOFs
that should cover most LNB
types, including SCR LNBs,
and even if you encounter an
LNB that uses a more exotic
LOF you’re entirely free to en-
ter any frequency manually.
Looking at the technical
specifications of a device
is all well and good, yet it’s
only during an in-depth test
that some features score
more points than others. In
the case of the CB200 HD
we thoroughly appreciated
the fact that the transpond-
er list can be edited right in
the search mode. On the
one hand this saves valuable
time, and on the other hand
it also uncovers the user in-
terface strategy designed for
the CB200 HD: In a nutshell,
MKTech has tried to create as
few separate menu items as
possible, while at the same
time making sure all required
functions can be accessed
right when and where they
are needed.
The channel search that
follows next can safely be
restricted to free-to-air chan-
nels, as the CB200 HD is
not equipped with a CI slot
or internal card reader any-
way. And if you don’t require
a network search, this ad-
ditional option can be deac-
tivated as well. As soon as
the search is completed, the
meter will switch to the first
detected channel and will
