The Alpsat AS06-STC is a portable combo signal analyzer covering DVB S/S2 (satellite), DVB T/T2 (terrestrial), and DVB C (cable TV) standards in a single handheld instrument. It provides BER, MER, and C/N digital measurements, real-time spectrum with carrier identification, and direct level and quality bar indicators with audible output — allowing easy dish centering and antenna signal optimisation in the field.

Beyond measurement and spectrum functions, the AS06-STC includes constellation diagrams (QPSK, 8PSK for satellite; QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM for terrestrial and cable), a TP Control function that displays bar readings for up to 4 transponders from one satellite or 8 transponders from 2 satellites simultaneously, and Multilevel Control for dual-feed LNB installations or multiswitches. Auto Port Search with Auto DiSEqC identifies which satellite corresponds to which DiSEqC port. The instrument also accepts AHD/TVI/CVI and analogue video input for CCTV camera testing. A replaceable 3000 mAh 7.4 V Li-Po battery provides up to 4 hours of operating autonomy.
