It depends how you want to use it. A simple £10 "swingometer" will suffice if you have had lots of practice and understand how to identify the sat you want to watch. If you need more tech then something like this seems quite popular and will do pretty much everything. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/31448926...d=link&campid=5338547443&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
I have two Spectrum analysers from my work days in the shed but a bit OTT for taking in the van, before I fitted an auto dish I used my old faithful Horizon meter, trade quality but rare now and still expensive.

Would one of these be good enough?. Set my home Freesat dish with one a few times

Thanks, I’ve got one of those cheap swingometers, I’ve no patience’s for them.

The teleco was very simple, when it worked.

I used one of these for a couple of years without any issues. I used to recon I could find the right satellite quicker than the automatic dishes!
I bought one from eBay for about £30. Excuse the euro price we are in Luxembourg and my Amazon thinks I live here now!
