     One end of the included cable attaches to the hand unit and the other to the encoder assembly of the controlled focuser for ultra-precise focus control  The DRO Hand Unit is connected to the motor and encoder assemblies of the JMI EV-2cM focuser using a standard flat phone cable and connectors.
     The new DRO Hand Unit provides a ready, stand-alone means of repeating focus to a precision that visual and analog methods simply cannot match.  The new JMI DRO Hand Unit is priced at $148US.
