Request: Looking for an Android signal finder app

[ArloG]

Hopefully in the right section.
Using the Signal Finder app on my phone to fine tune my dish. It relies on an actual scanned and stored channel on my E2 receiver( osmio4k, Zgemma H7) to see the signal.
Would anyone know of an Android app that allows direct Signal Finder access for transponder signals that do not have an active channel on them.
Which therefore cannot be stored in a bouquet.
Or is there a method to manually create a channel in an editor that would show signal? I use E-Channelizer.

Thanks but that's what I use. It's dependent on a channel in a bouquet. I was asking more of an app that does the same as signal finder in Setup>Tuners & Scanning>Signal finder.

No problem with the 'SignalMeter' app. I used 'Version 1.0.4'

Using 16.0ºe as example.

As long as you have the satellite you want and at least one channel scanned and stored from it on your E2 receiver using 'Signal Finder' (the frequency, SR, Polarity etc etc) that is sufficient.

Then on the E2 receiver again using 'Signal Finder', add the new frequency details of your intended to use re the 'fine tune' with the app but DO NOT 'Scan' for the channels!

Activate the 'SignalMeter' app on mobile/tablet etc and you will see that your newly added frequency strength is shown and no title of the channel/s showing as you have not scanned them in as yet on the E2..........from this screen on the app you can move the LNB/dish to see the changes.

Many screenshots attached, long winded but hopefully may help.

Please let us know the result, thanks. Good luck.

Very detailed walk through. Yep, I already found that if you are in signal finder on the receiver on a tp thats data. Or otherwise won't scan in as a channel.
Using the phone app, pressing the signal button shows signal. But that renders the phone unable to choose another bouquet and run the motor.

What I haven't found out just yet is how to create a new channel from just a scanned frequency. I'm using the free version of E-Channelizer for an editor.
So lets say I find a satellite. The c band method of moving the dish a little (actuator and dish mover). Doing a blindscan. Until a transponder is snagged. One that may not be in the sats xml file. Move the dish a bit more and re-scan and see if more tp's are captured.
But....none when scanned have an active channel at the moment. Or data channel. In either instance no channels are found.
I'm very cool with entering those found (but unlisted and not included in the satellites.xml) tp's. Then after that a reboot....init 4, init 3. Whatever. I have a new active transponder in my list.
So. Signal finder in the receiver and using a phone will work. How to create a new channel?
For a satellite that is used only for game, news feed that is fired up for an event. I have taken one for the channels and edited the tp parameters and renamed it "Dummy".
Doing a data channel like this lets me select the bouquet and channel and see the signal for dish geometry tweaking. And the dish will still respond to a go-to command.
