    These sirens have been upgraded December, 2018! They’re now modulators. Any idea if you’ll be out here again?

      Really? That's crazy. I thought they would've added more sirens before replacing these ones. Four sirens aren't enough for that town.

      DSRX100 yeah, you can try. I don’t know though since I don’t live here. Sometimes, they postpone on holidays. At least in Lexington, they postponed on Fourth of July.

      It's a little confusing, but from what I've found, attack is sounded for severe thunderstorms for 5 minutes. Alert is sounded for the entire duration of a tornado warning.

    • @DSRX100
      @DSRX100  6 лет назад +2

      I think you're getting the MCP and SiraTone controller mixed up here. The MCP sounds similar to a UV controller. This unit probably had a SiraTone cabinet when it was installed. Even though the old SiraTones sound nice, they weren't the best in terms of quality and it's actually good this was replaced.

      DSRX100 ok, thanks! Plus, there was actually a completely new siren installed near the grade school, over close to the airport a year ago. It’s a modulator, and the other units out here got replaced last December, and the city is now running pure FS modulators. The Time Square Mall siren was moved. When it was EOWS, the siren was originally closer to the Kentucky Fried Chicken parking lot, and stoplights next to it, but they moved the entire siren still close to the mall, but across the street from it. Which makes sense, so the employees aren’t in need of learning sign language after every test, get it? I was on a trip there recently when I found out about it.

    • @DSRX100
      @DSRX100  5 лет назад

      @@GMTX-kg8ep I actually just took a trip down there yesterday and got a recording. That one siren by the grade school actually replaced a 612 too. Luckily they reused that nice steel pole for the new siren and it's the only thing left of the old system I'm afraid. I've got an old recording of it too. The one new Modulator they added was at Lincoln Park and didn't replace anything. But honestly, I think they should've just kept the 612s and add the Mods for extra coverage. Some parts of town still aren't covered well.

    • @GMTX-kg8ep
      @GMTX-kg8ep 5 лет назад

      DSRX100 oh wow! I had a feeling I was mistaken. Do you plan to upload the Modulator test? I’ll look forward to it. I was thinking they installed a modulator somewhere before the entire replacement went on.

      @DSRX100  5 лет назад

      @@GMTX-kg8ep Yes, that would be the Lincoln Park one. It's at the Southwest side of town, near the hospital and Interstate. Currently, I'm finishing up editing a T-128 video then, I'll start working on the new Modulator video. I'm expecting to get it finished in two weeks, maybe earlier. It all depends how things go.

    Was this the same EOWS that sounded like a Modulator 1004? Am I right? Because I feel like this is the same one. I don't pay attention to the titles that much, so I could just be the dumbass here.

    • @DSRX100
      @DSRX100  6 лет назад

      This is a different one from the same city. But this one is using a UV controller instead of an MCP. And all Mods sound pretty much the same whether it's a 1004 or a 6024, just so you're aware ;)

    • @mitzyy7
      @mitzyy7 6 лет назад

      DSRX100 Alright, thanks. I'm probably gonna poke around and ask questions about some sirens because I wanna record some in the future. I live in the prairies of Canada though, and you might think sirens are often, right? NOPE, I swear there are almost no sirens in the god damn area! If only I were to travel to very, very small towns and film the fire station sirens, and there is one about an hour or so away, and I believe its a Federal Signal Model 5. Is it worth it?
