your "-" setting would be 002.700 west your north setting 0053.8900 but change the digits to suit your previously posted digits

remember to get this usal function working properlt it assumes that whoever set up your dish zero'd it correctly....most people end up having to adjust the east or west figure by a bit here and there to get it really accurate - my setting would be 000.152 w and yet the best and most accurate readings i get are with me entering 1.050w which is some way out....so try the real setting figure then go up anf down a bit and see
