Question 1st time HH motor set up.

I have an HH motor and a 31 inch dish.

My ZIP code is 93291

Latitude: 36.3478°


Longitude: -119.3577°


And my furthest south sat is the 119 w.


Now the site calculator says:



Echostar 7
Distance: 37223km
Motor Latitude: 36.3°
Declination Angle: 5.8°
Dish Elevation: °
Elevation: 47.8°
Azimuth (true): 179.4°
Azimuth (mag.): 165.8° using Compass


My question is what angle do i set my motor at? 47.8 or 36.3 ????

Also what elevation should my dish be at?

This is my first time setting up a motor.


any help or advise would be useful
