From the declination angle chart on Sadoun's website, my declination angle (with an SG2100) is only 4.2. I have the following information resulting from my computer run of Satfinder.jar (realizing that this does not take into account my use of an SG2100 motor), with a magnetic declination of -5.82.

I have not had any problems with either Sadoun's calculator or the chart that comes with the motor. Mine was 4.9, rounded up to 5 degrees.
