         YEP!

         That's basically how I am running my 2 `2006s `chasing' the LTR 
systems I'm `chasing'.  {VB GRIN!}  *Very* `powerful' setup with *2* `2006s 
though using a `46 probably can do just as well, too.  Did you go with a 
`factory?' `DataSlicer' or did you build your own?  (I suppose I *should* 
get `a round Tuit' and finally put mine in a case instead of leaving it on 
the `breadboard'?  ['Course the `advantage?' of leaving it on the 
breadboard like I've been doing is that it's been a lot easier to `fine 
tune' and `upgrade' things. {GRIN!}  I'll also admit that I've got more 
than one circuit on the breadboard, too.  Every time I run across some 
else's circuit I seem to end up adding, if it is sufficiently different, it 
to what I've already got just to see if it is better in some way to what 
I've already got.  So far I haven't run out of `real estate' on the 
breadboard. {GRIN!}])  If you are using a `factory' `DataSlicer' which one 
you are using and why you are using it?  (The `miser' in me so far has kept 
me from picking up one but I am beginning to think that I probably should 
consider getting at least a couple for `field' / `backup' use.)
