The voices are different. I like them all equally for different reasons. This was my weather radio from back then. It was made in like the 80's and is set off from the 1050Hz tone. You could hear how it doesn't sound a siren until it hears that tone. The new ones with S.A.M.E. alerts are activated from the first three bursts. Those give the warning, location, time, etc. This radio is an antique!
@EAS-CEC Cabarrus EAS decoders. However, I do not have a software to decode EAS headers, so I just self activated them using aux cords, an iPod, and a weather radio that isn't 1050 Hz detectable.

While yes, the tones come out to be a RWT, at the same time, he likely recorded the voice message elsewhere. This radio irl, which is a Weatheralert TA-25, doesn't cut to the voice after the siren, it's just like the 12-140 and 74-10x series where the siren would go down in pitch, except it was super fast at it, meaning that this voice would have been recorded.
This is NOAA weather radio KIH35 operating on 162.55 MHZ, The broadcast orginates from the National Weather service in Moon Township PA, with a power output of 1000 wats.
I think they still use that voice for time and frequency transmissions. (Example: "The time is 3:00 PM, transmitting on 162.475 MHZ") Edit: This was before they implemented the new voice.
SPCpasadena2123 / PasadenaEAS - That would be Donna, I bet. However, they did a complete computer system overhaul in 2016 and now there's only a newer version of Paul. If you're interested, in Spanish-speaking parts of the country, this same overhaul replaced Javier with Violetta.
SPCSmithMountianLake2987 they were talking about before CRS was replaced by BMH. Now everything is said by Paul, although there has been speculation of adding NeoSpeech Kate to NOAA Weather Radio, but that's only Speculation, not set in stone anywhere
the paul synthetic voice sounds depressed too LOLO. i like the new "tom" voice and have used IT on ham radio ID's as it sounds clearer lol. that voice was also generated by dectalk too "the paul voice that is".
Gotta love that authentic TI speech synthesis, I prefer this over the male voice they have now and especially over the female voice they had for ahwile
Dude, back then, they didn't use SAME tones that often. This one is only activated with a 1050hz tone. He only inserted the SAME tones since they have different background noise than the actual video.
This video is fake. I decoded the tones that were played to activate the radio and it went off as a required weekly test, not a tornado warning. Also, the volume between the headers and the 1050 Hz tone is a lot different. Plus, the weather radio tone would not sound like that in an environment like that. It is likely that the creator of this video found a random weather radio noise on the internet. Also, in the description he tells you that the pictures of the destruction could be found by clicking that link. That link is in fact a scam link. I remember clicking the link and it shows one of those 'you have been the 100,000th visitor, click here to claim your prize!' before the site was taken down. Nice try.
I used to have a Weatheralert model TA-12- a more basic model with a brown cabinet and a small switch for toggling between alert mode and listen mode. It was stolen away from me, however.
That particular NOAA Weather Radio doesn't look like it has the SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology. The alarm goes off for warnings not affecting your location and what it goes off for could be up to 100 miles away from your location. But I love seeing and hearing the alarm sound of this old school NOAA Weather Radio. We had a Realistic Brand we bought from Radio Shack back in the early 1990s.
I've never seen a Analog Weather Radio with alert. How do you know what type of alert it is if you were not within ear shot of the radio when it went off?
This is fake! The SAME Headers decode as follows: *ZCZC-EAS-RWT-012057-012081-012101-012103-012115+0030-2780415-WTSP/TV-* (Required Weekly Test) Also, the audio at the beginning versus the audio after the alarm is entirely different sounding! Nice clickbait.
I used to pretend this voice was a talking boat giving away the weather forecast. We used to listen to this when we went fishing on Lake Michigan to find out the height of the waves.
I was up at ft. Indiantown Gap over the weekend. Drove right through Annville and Cle....on...a. I'm planning on heading out Leb..a..non county a few times this summer to get video of severe weather.
!!!!! According to SeaTTY, what they'd just toned was a _Required Weekly Test!_ So first off that wouldn't have alarmed a SAME decoder equipped weather radio! Secondly, as you can see at the end, it identifies a TV station as if we were listening to _that_ station's relay, which we are not! What the hell happened? "ZCZC-EAS-RWT-012057-012081-012101-012103-012115+0030-2780415-WTSP/TV"
you’re wrong about the same decoder thing. all alert codes alarm all same decoder equipped radios, and this one is a 1050 hz activation radio. also the video is completely fake so…
Damn, I used to live in Annville and Lebanon. I remember living in an apartment building between the elementary school and a creek and there being a tornado warning, complete with a ton of hail. Then we went and played in the hail, lmao. I miss storms like that.
Interestingly, the version of DECtalk in this clip is 4.61. The NWS usually used a special build of DECtalk 4.60 or earlier. Edit: after reading through the comments section of this video, it appears this was fake. After thinking about it, that explains the use of DECtalk 4.61. If we had access to the actual version the NWS used at the time this was produced, it would be more convincing.
