Question about whelen

[spotandtiggerbug]

There are two in Cobb County, GA that I've seen. One is in Kennesaw next to their police department, and the other belongs to the city of Smyrna (separate system from the county's).

Anybody know the DB ratings on the Kennesaw/Smyrna type sirens?

I found the Smyrna one quite by accident one day; saw the control box on pole before the siren(speakers almost hidden in trees).

Tremont, Pa has a Whelen WS-1000 that sits up on a hill that sounded for fire calls with thier Federal 5T. Mike Stalnecker (who remembers him??) submited a recording of the 2 Tremont sirens sounding to the first siren contest. It is an interesting affair, it has a Federal AF/AR (I can't keep them straight in my head) that trips the Whelen components. I have pictures of it somewhere, but God if I know where they are.

Oh yeah, I remember that video, I had a discussion with him on YT on how that would work, am still confused to this day.
