We will keep the antenna model # for future reference.
Our older TVs (about 2004) have a signal strength gauge on the menu. (I'm assuming that's the same as a "signal meter" you speak of) They both register about 65-67% strength.

Signal meters on consumer grade TVs and converters are not calibrated to any common standard. So 65-67% may mean "great signal" on one set and "on the ragged edge of terrible" on another. But they are still useful because they will indicate if a change or adjustment has made the signal better or worse.
If the set is only capable of tuning analog signals, the meter will be less useful because it will only indicate to strength of the signal from the converter box, not the antenna.
