Can someone please help me?
I have just bought a motek sg-2100A motor and I have been reading the forums but I still can't get my head around the settings for it. If I'm correct then I should set the motor exactly south and then drive the motor to the nearest sat position which for me would be either 1W or 5W so does that mean that as my longitude is -3.230 I should drive the motor 2.230 degrees east to get 1W? Also can someone please tell me what to set the elevation on the motor to as I have looked at forums and web sites and downloaded programs to calculate it but I must be even more stupid than I thought because I can't figure it out.
On heavens-above web site my latitude is 59.066, longitude is -3.230 and elevation is 25m.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Davie.
