Same I have an H&P KG-114 with the clear outer glass and red filters.

@@TRAINFANKENDAL976 Yes, that is right.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 yep

This siren is located on the 3200 block of Independence Drive near Town East Blvd behind Harbor Freight Tools. Easy to find. If you post a new video of it, let me know, I would be glad to see it.

They look alike its just T-128 has a sloped horn

This red tower beacon light is a type FCB-12 manufactured by Crouse Hinds.

If you are interested, another red light beacon of this size using the same type of incandescent lamps is a KG-114 by Huey & Phillips.

It would be funny to have a recording of Beavis and Butthead sounding through a Whelen 2910. "HA HA!! THIS IS A TORNADO WARNING!! TAKE SHELTER NOW, OR I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!!! I do laugh about this idea.

I can just imagine what that would sound like 🤣

All of them replaced T-128s

I do have one video of it.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 can you post the video? Id appreciate it

@@owensanders7432 Your wish is granted.

This RM-127 siren and all the others just like it, along with the STH-10 sirens in the Lancaster siren system, are now retired. The new sirens are rotating sirens like the one in this video, but look and sound very different. Thank you for viewing this video.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 thanks for the information, when does Lancaster test their sirens? I might go there for a test soon, I really want to see some 8 port sirens go off.

@@owensanders7432 I would call the non emergency Lancaster Fire Department and ask for the personnel who tests the sirens, and ask those folks for the latest test schedule. They test at around 2pm, weather permitting. Back in 2012, the fire department would actually go to various siren locations and report back if they worked or not. They would then go to another group of sirens, sound them off, and report back. I happened to get 2 siren videos in the same day because of this. They have, I think, NEW T-128 sirens that rotate and have 8 ports on the front. My Cedar Hill siren video has a T-128 if you are curious about it. Let me know if you go to Lancaster for a siren test.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 I might go in September

@@wadessirenvideos6750 thanks for the really helpful info though.

Congratulations on being the first viewer!

@@wadessirenvideos6750 Also have you ever film any sirens around in the early or late 2000's?

@@adamssirenadventures6574 The videos I have are from 2011 or after. The fact that I fondly remember Thunderbolt sirens from my childhood days in Dallas, and that Dallas, almost overnight, retired their Thunderbolt siren system in favor of the current system is a very big reason why I am interested in older outdoor warning sirens. Richardson also replaced their Thunderbolts and a few 2T22 sirens with T-128 sirens at around the same time as Dallas upgraded. They did keep one older refurbished 2001-130 and added it to their then new system. As of January 2022, Richardson has another new system of Federal Signal 2001-130 sirens, a big surprise to me. I will post these older videos I made as I find them.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 Ok good deal

@@wadessirenvideos6750 Nevermind

I believe it. I went to another siren in Duncanville during their Modulator days that had only 4 pods, and it was not worth filming it. It hardly had any sound output. Probably why Duncanville replaced all the Modulators with Federal Signal 508 sirens.

This video was recorded on Wednesday December 5, 2012

@@wadessirenvideos6750 Damn, that’s basically ancient history at this point.

That's interesting. I did not think that battery power was a possibility until just now. When I filmed it, I thought it was strange to have a wind down and a wind-up happen within one second, like in this siren test session. I was hoping it would be a FAST WAIL for the rest of the activation. This still has been worth filming. Thank you for your comment.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 the activation software they use has a feature that allows them to switch the siren to battery power.im guessing they were probably testing the batteries to make sure they were still holding a charge

That's really sad. My fear had come true that the older sirens would get replaced. I wish I could have my own siren system of restored vintage sirens set up for public warning notification. I would set them up in places where people could film them.

Oy! Soundscape person! Do any of the RM-127s still run or are they all dead?

Your video of the Lancaster 2am siren activation malfunction has great siren ambience. It was different to hear an ATTACK mode since Lancaster normally sounds their sirens in ALERT. History was made during those early morning hours, and you captured it on video, and that is awesome.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 thanks man that ambience is very distinct. It indeed made history because that was the last time that system sounded!

@@wadessirenvideos6750 thanks man that ambience is very distinct. It indeed made history because that was the last time that system sounded!

But what is this

Yes, but now there is another electronic siren with multiple speaker drivers made by Federal Signal that replaced the ATI siren in this video. It has better and possibly louder sound output than the ATI siren, though I don't know what model it is. RUclips has a few videos of it when it was newly installed. I used to work at General Cinema Prestonwood theater in the Village on the Parkway shopping center back in 1996. The theater is long gone, but I remember when the Thunderbolt got its monthly test. I once went up on the rooftop to watch the Thunderbolt rotate and hear it roar. I still miss it to this day. I went to the shopping center with my camcorder to film the siren test, but to my disappointment, the Thunderbolt was gone, and this siren was in its place. This video was made a few years after this new siren was installed. I think it's crazy to invest in a wimpy, low volume siren that sounds like it was made as a science fair project with ice cream truck speakers, and then donated to the city for outdoor warning notification. Hope you did not mind the Cocoa Puffs commercial short clip I put in there by the way. Allen, Texas currently uses these ATI SYSTEMS sirens, but they have 2 "4 speaker" sets for best sound volume output. Thank you for your question, it's a pleasure to answer it.

I would like to see the 8 port version of the 2001-130 siren which I believe is the Equinox. It has a lower pitch like the 508 siren, a Sentry 3V8, or a T-128 by A.S.C.

I will take it in consideration. I would like to meet you and others in person. Where are we talking about? What kind of siren is it?

I would love to see this collaboration

@@wadessirenvideos6750 I would like to let you know, we will be going to the P-50 In Bedford for a 1:00 o’clock Test on July 6th. Let me know if you are interested in going.

@@OWS_Crazy1 Sure, I will be glad to be there. Is there a way I can contact you other than by leaving a comment? A phone number or email address alright? Also give me an address of this siren location. I am not familiar with where to meet. Is it the Taco Bell P-50? Never have been there. After the test, I would like to meet everyone in person.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 my comment seems to be getting auto removed when I try to post my contact information

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it very much.

This tower beacon is across the street from an International Airport. Per F.A.A. (Federal Aviation Administration) regulations in the United States, the tower beacon must be on and flashing day and night.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 ha ok

How does it go on off?

When I filmed this video, I liked hearing other sirens in the distance. Thank you for your comment.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 do you know what town the Whelen’s were in, I can’t think of any other places that used that signal for testing at one point aside from McKinney or Lavon, but they’re too far down the roar for it to be that clear.

@@brodiessirenproductions I believe the Whelens are from the Sunnyvale warning siren system.

Yes they are Sunnyvale system of Whelen 4004’s

I had a siren video of Frisco, but unfortunately the video was stored in the camera's internal memory. A few weeks after I filmed a Frisco siren, the camera and internal memory FAILED and stopped working. I lost EVERYTHING, including a video of another siren that later got replaced with a new 2001-130. From that day forward, I have cameras that record onto removable media like an SD-HC card. Never lost another video since. Very painful lesson.

I have a Plano siren video from the days when they had rotating Whelen Vortex sirens. Would you all like me to put it up next?

@@wadessirenvideos6750 Any recording of Plano’s 4008s is always welcomed

Sounds more like Allen ATI Hpss32

@@adamssirenadventures6574 Yes, I agree. I was surprised when I filmed this Modulator when the WESTMINISTER CHIME started the testing process. The first thing I thought of was the ATI SYSTEMS sirens. This video was filmed a few months after I went to the Addison ATI siren. Also surprised at how this 7 pod Modulator was so low in volume, probably not more than 110 decibels at 100 feet away. Possibly some of the speaker drivers or amplifiers were not working. This sound would only cover 1700 feet, up to a 2000 foot radius from the sirens location. Maybe it's not supposed to be really loud, like a T-128 is. One drawback is the need to place the siren locations substantially closer together for maximum coverage. This Modulator is definitely not a P-50 from a sound output standpoint.

@@wadessirenvideos6750 It sounded like an ATI because for all intents and purposes it WAS an ATI. Some ass clown somewhere in the emergency management agency decided that purchasing ATI control equipment for their Federal Signal equipment was a great idea.
