Hi Subaru,

I cant directly help with your enquiry but here is a topic from a few years ago on that finder.
I do note that at times they need a software update.

Here is the topic

Keep in mind that your satellite finder is only as good as its antenna and at satellite frequencies the antenna cables and connectors must be pretty much perfect.
