Re: Please check my SG2100 values

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.
check out the link below for active transponders:

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.
