In my opinion, I don't see the confusion on the dish elevation. There are 2 formular to calculate the elevation for each type of h-h mount (Stab and SG2100). The "Aiming True South" part is a bit confused for the new users. I sugest it needs to be rewritten by using non-tech words such as:
a. Your truesouth sat is the one located at your Lat deg
b. Azimuth of truesouth sat = 180 +/- magnetic deviation.
c. If elevation adjustment is needed when tuning the dish, remind the users "only adjust the Dish Elevation".

In addition, a link for active transponders of all sats will be helpful for users when tuning the dish.
