TEST REPORT DVB Combo Signal Analyzer

8dtek TSM-8800
Digital Signal Analyzer for
DVB-S and DVB-T Signals
Solid Design and Fully
Featured!
Since the beginning of the satellite age there was
always this one problem for the die-hard satellite
hobbyist: the necessary hardware to properly
align his own antenna, that is, a satellite
signal analyzer was always ridiculously
expensive. When the transition to
��
became possible to offer signal
analyzers with professional features
at much lower prices.

our demands, is the TSM-8800
from 8dtek. 8dtek from Hong-
kong was founded in 2008 and
specializes in sophisticated,
highly technical solutions. The
TSM-8800 is a perfect example
of that.

When we opened up the
box, it was obvious that 8dtek
did not skimp on quality nor
on any of the included acces-
sories. Absolutely solid and
sturdy; there’s no other way
to describe it. The electronics
were placed in a solid, brushed
aluminum chassis.

The analyzer itself sits nicely
in your hand and is protected
from falls and other environ-
mental concerns. The manu-
facturer also surrounded the
analyzer in a rubber jacket with
openings for connectors on the
underside as well as the upper
and lower edges. This rubber
jacket prevents the analyzer
from slipping on almost any
surface. Because of its rela-
tively heavy weight, it sits sol-
idly in place and thus makes it
all the more easier to use.

The front panel sports a 3.5-
inch LCD display. It’s very easy
to read and produces very little
glare even with direct sun-
light. Six LEDs are located just
below the display and indicate
the current operational mode
of the analyzer. At one glance
you can identify the current
polarization level as well as the
current band (high or low) and
whether or not the analyzer
has locked on to a signal.

8dtek incorporated an infra-
red receiver right in the middle
of the row of LEDs. Wait a
minute… an infrared receiver
for a signal analyzer? Actually,
it’s not a bad idea! The signal
