A method and system for pointing a receiver antenna is described herein. The method includes providing an indicator, receiving a signal at the antenna over a series of positions throughout which the antenna is moved, measuring a signal strength of the signal at each position, and causing the indicator to emit an indication signal that reflects the signal strength at each position. The frequency of the indication signal preferably varies non-linearly to the signal strengths, and the difference between successive indication signal frequencies increases as said signal strength increases in order to allow an installer to more effectively perceive the variations in the frequency of the indication signal.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of pointing a directional antenna at a source, said method comprising the steps of:providing an indicator for emitting indication signals;moving said directional antenna through a plurality of pointing positions;measuring a signal strength of a received signal at each of said plurality of pointing positions; andactivating said indicator to emit an indication signal having a period which varies in a substantially inverse exponential relation to said measured signal strength to provide sensible information to facilitate pointing of said directional antenna at said source.
