I have two;  one is the one I mentioned from West Marine, called the
"Admiral Hornblower" found at:

http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=1
0001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=28223&catalogId=10001&classNum=154&
subdeptNum=50&storeNum=8

	It's about 8 inches long and 2 1/2 - 3 inches wide.  120 dB or better...

The other is a smaller one, 5 inches by 2 inches, with the SeaSense brand
on it.  This is more pocketable but I did wind up putting a crack in it --
easily repaired with electrical tape.  This can be seen at:

x.html

it's called the "Safety Blaster".

	Haven't seen any tests on the Fox-40 but anecdotal evidence is pretty
good...
