Technomate F3/5

Just pulled the trigger on the Technomate F3/5. I will be doing a full review of this receiver to see how it stacks up against the tm 5302, 5402 m1 and 5402 m3 receivers.

The TM F3/5 arrived late yesterday. Of course it was in Pal so I had to hook it up composite cables(rca) to my outdooring scanning tv. As my TM 5402 I will need to use Clarke Tech editor to create a North American satellite list. I have it hooked up to my circular feed on Ses 6 at 40.5w and a blind scan pulled in 242 channels and its blind scan is super fast as well. As I test it out I will post my progress. For my initial feeling, I think I'm going to really like this receiver. Of course coming from the UK it has that huge adapter but I had a spare adapter. It is also equipped with the latest firmware phantompatch 1.39 which I will add to the files section:
