T 135 finally updated on their site

Right, lack of battery back-up, and they get most of the sound output for a much smaller outlay in electrical power, size, and weight. They might say the old T135 was a brute force approach to high output and the new 132 is more 'elegant' in engineering terms.

Come to think about it, they probably quit making the P-50 because it overturned too many mobile homes on test day.

Anything that noisy could scare away a tornado.

There is a joking reference to the T-135s in Kenosha County, Wisconsin scaring away the tornadoes, causing them to do a split going north and/or south. Kenosha County has not seen a tornado since an F-0 in August 2001, but has not had a tornado warning issued since 1997.

The new 135's are a bit too plain for me, and I thought the old ones were bad! The new ones look like the 128's, only bigger Does the new series have the ability for a fire signal? I have seen the 121's have the ability even though it is only a drawn out attack signal.
~300th post by me!

I much prefer the old design of the T 135.

I do too. But I guess if they upgrade the T-135 to AC/DC I'm cool with that, as over time it looks like putting in one big siren would be cheaper than installing say 5 smaller sirens. Definitely what Post should have done.

The "one instead of four" coverage thing is a bit optimistic, I think. It's probably true if there are no buildings, hills, woods or obstructions around. In other words, flat, unobstructed terrain. That doesn't happen very much.

Around here there is plenty of that. Buildings that are above three stories are rare. Plus we live on the plains (not Post but most towns around here are on the plains).

Ya i am going to miss that big ol T-135 too. It was the biggest siren out there and would knock you at of your boots if yo were close enough.
