I think the correct name for a P-50 produced by ASC is the RM-135. I'm not sure this was ever called the T-135AC, but you never know. I've just always called the ASC P-50's RM-135s and Flower Horned T-135(AC/DC)'s plain T-135s to avoid confusing myself and others.
JPa311979 Since there are still some ACA Sirens in Minnesota closest is Richfield MN and even once had a Single Allertor within the city limits of Minneapolis very rare would of been great if we had these in Minneapolis Then upgraded to the Modern Variant of this siren am not a fan of our current Whelan Vortex System
Actually it is a ACA P-50 the Modern ASC T-135 is similar to this and do you think Minneapolis could of went with ASC T-135s since they are about the same Decibel Level as a Whelan Vortex
ASC stopped producing these things when the T-135 AC/DC came out, sometime around 2008 if I'm not mistaken. They still make Cyclones, but that's only for overseas. I'm actually surprised they didn't take the chopper from the newer model and used it as an omnidirectional siren to take the place of the C-125 since they both would produce around 125 dB. This siren is an ASC branded siren, notice the stickers. That would make it a RM-135 or T-135AC depending on the year it was made. Minneapolis went with Vortexes because the 2001 underperformed by 2-3 dB from what I understand. The 135AC/DC is louder than a Vortex - it's the loudest one in production at the moment.
Thanks for the info! So these were produced as RM-135s for a while, I didn't know that. I heard that this type of siren is the loudest dual toned siren in the world.
And nice video. This is the closest P-50/RM-135 to me, I hope to visit it for a test this summer
Sad there's no P-50's in Minnesota.. But in gibbon Minnesota there's a very rare Soundmaster 125 and it's still active
ConnorW07 TheSirenHunter I wouldn’t say that... There’s a Whelen Vortex only 3-4 blocks away
Great idea to see a P-50 in Wisconsin! Great catch. Great echos.

That is a crazy echo. Would you happen to know if there are any P-50s in Minnesota?
I've never heard of a P-50 In Minnesota.

This is an early 135 since it kept rotating after starting wind-down.
Where is this P-50 located in?
Google Weitkamp Park, 54016. The location is also in my video description.

Does ASC they still make the T-135 version? I would think they would have stopped making these altogether.
JPa311979 Yes ASC does still make the T-135
