SG2100 - H to H mount elevation

[aar5ac]

I have a 2100 on the way from Sadoon and noticed in the online set up version a difference for setting up the H to H mount elevation. I have read that the H to H elevation is equal to the latitude of where the dish will be set up (46.4 here). but Sadoons chart shows a different value although it is within a few degrees. I seem to remember reading in another book that the value will not be quite what the actual latitude is but I can't find that reference now. If someone can explain the descrepancy I would be appreciate it. I only want to have to set this thing up once :shock:

Thanks in advance,
Doug

Doug,
Don't worry too much...:-)
If you follow Sadoun instruction, you should be fine. Perhaps the book you read is for setting C-band dish, which is a bit different than for off-set dish.
SG21000 mount elevation = you Lat.
Dish elvation = 30 - declination angle
If elevation needs to be adjust to get lock, only adjust the DISH elevation. Don't touch the SG2100 one.
Let us know how the installation going. If you face any difficulties, let us know.
