Isnt most of Honolulu's system consist of Modulators and EOW's. Are there T-bolts mounted on poles or rooftops?

I've got a thunderbolt a bike ride away. I'll definitely be trying to get it. I'm happy to say that it probably won't be replaced unless it breaks down.

Does anyone know how many T-bolts they have in that area of Hawaii? Are they all dual toned or some single toned?

Does anyone know how many sirens are in the Honolulu system and is that the only island that has them in that area?

I wonder if that trapezoidal siren in the old WWII photo is still in the Pearl Harbor area. It's the same kind of siren as my avatar.

Its weird all i hear are T-bolt's in this video, i dont hear any of their EOW's and Modulators. That shows you that the T-bolts bark and bite is more powerful. :twisted:
