    Yeah, sure for the "fine tune" reading. I was referring to
    micro drum vs no micro drum.
    
    BTW, There is suppose to be a plastic sextant made in
    England that is better than the Davis. Starts the "E"
    something like "Ebaco". I am not sure. It was (or is) made
    by a boat company.
