Re: Upstate and Western N.Y. Inactive Sirens

The newer thunderbolts blow around in the wind all the time. They have a clutch that engages or disengages (I think that's how it works) if wind is blowing on it so it doesn't ruin the mechanism.

Re: SirenCon™ 2023 Official Information Sticky!

How many amps can the generator run? From what I can remember, it withstands about 500 amps at the very maximum. Theoretically, you can run a Cyclone or even a P-50 off of it. Could run all my stuff then, not sure if I am able to make it though. You better... If I come I wanna see that H.O.R. :D

Re: Markleysburg, PA

That's true... but wouldn't you think they'd be a little more local? Like, some would be in NY where they were made? For all we know, these could be Secomak GP3s that were modified by a local company... That's certainly a possibility, as Pennsylvania even has a modified Carter floating around. I'd ...

Maybe I'll bring the 7T and try to run it... That thing's got a ruined motor as far as I know, but it's worth a shot.

Re: Is this tornado/firecall siren still active?

As long as they aren't a private department... volunteer fire departments are usually more friendly because, well, they're maintained through a community effort. They're made up of the community, and their duty is to serve the community. Privately funded departments won't always be as nice... I was ...

Re: Does a whelen controller work with an EOWS?

To add onto this, there are 2001s (I think somewhere in Illinois, but the name of the town isn't coming to me :x ) running Whelen controls. I could see how EOWS could run on Whelen controls because they are electronic, but 2001s? Maybe they ripped out the chopper and replaced it with a speaker LOL ...
