Instead of relying on the 'bars' on your scanner, you need a proper receiver such as an old Icom R7000 that has a real "S" meter - or you may be able to find on EPay a TV field strength meter which you can feed your antenna into - they're not particularly good at finding intermittant transmissions though.

So before you worry about a "meter" you should expain the system you are having problems with. The problem may be signal level, it may be Simulacast problems.

What coax are you using and how long?

You could get a cheap SDR dongle so you can get a better idea about signal levels that are being received.
