I recall the IL siren map saying they’ve been inactive for a while. The park rangers ran them until they died and then didn’t maintain them anymore.

Ah, that's a shame. I wonder if there's any videos of them functioning?

Illinois Beach State Park WS-3000s

Been a while since I've really been on here, but does anyone know if the two WS-3000s still work at the Illinois Beach State Park? I've heard the rangers still use them for announcing park closures.

Re: Random Whelen WPS-3000 in Vicksburg, MI

Seems like there's a good change it may be active given the FC. I guess the only way to find out if it really works is recording it. Maybe setup an audio recorder hidden somewhere nearby and wait for it to go off?

I'm not too sure if this is a siren pole but I have a strong feeling it is, if anybody knows please correct me.
Do you have coords for this siren? It's quite a long road.

Skil Sher Wailing Joe & Grifco Siren Tests

Hi all, I recently visited Lightningfun64's place again and had some fun testing the Wailing Joe for the second time. I also got to see Lightningfun64's Grifco 555 for the first time. We also had a siren battle to see which siren was louder which was a lot of fun! We even recorded the siren battle a...

Re: What kind of controllers did Vogtle 3016's had before the T-128's replaced them?

There’s nothing different with these controllers internally. I’m pretty sure the compartment above the board is an external radio box. I’m not sure if Whelen still offers extra battery and external radio compartments. An example could be Tooele UT’s 2800s. To identify the three types Type one is sim...

Re: Vintage siren photos thread

Bump.

Contributing from all the way in Australia. Here's two Grifco 777s in the 70s/80s down south of Sydney. Photos are annotated.

Re: Whelen Siren Failures and Malfunctions

Here's an absolute classic. Seems like both 3000s in Brighton were dying from low batteries at the same time. The main 3000 kept whining and making very weird pitch fluctuating noises rather than a 700hz alert tone. It seems that the Analog 864 refused to cut off on low batteries? You can also hear ...

Re: The Newly Aquired Skil/Sher Wailing Joe + More Info

A very big congratulations on the acquisition. I want to hear it run because I can never find a recording online I plan on testing it this weekend. If not there's plenty of videos of them going off. Wailing Joes and Alarm Masters sound the same. https://youtu.be/R592a-yXRo4 https://youtu.be/0fU8Zkf...
