Which reminded me, equipment that has names that sound like they were 
designed for CB are things I don't even bother looking at.Whether it 
works or not, if it has the name "blaster" in it I avoid it.  Reminds me 
of the movie with the milkshake flavored with "colon blaster". I don't 
remember if that was one of the Animal House, or Nerds variants.
