"I've seen many people set their motor on like a 43 degree elevation instead of 90-43=47, because their latitude was 43, and this mistake will make your dish elevation off by 4 degrees right there."

This sort of thing makes me dig out the manual. :-)
The STABS HH90 manual says to set the rotor elevation to latitude , and the Sadoun site installation calculator says the same thing. Are different brand motors configured differently ? I'm thinking of getting an SG2100 and I'd hate to walk into a trap.
