all the values are correct. Actually, you don't need P for setting up
SG2100.
SG2100 elevation angle = Lat = 35.3
Dish elevation angle = 30 - declination angle = 30-5.6 = 24.4
Make sure you set the LO correctly. Base on your Long, your true south sat is G3C. Make sure you use an active transponder to tune your dish.

Long = 94.3
VALUES
------------------------------------------------------
P = 49 (based on helpful calculator on this site)
Dish elevation = 24.3
SG2100 elevation = 35.3
True South = 175 (based on chart of 180 - 5 for my location)
Is this correct? I tried using the formula of:
Dish elevation (DE) = P - (60 - Lat.)
Thanks.
