I feel bad for the people who used to live near Nashville's old ATI system.
I remember the Garland TX ATI system. :?

Yowzas. That things rotator doesn't look like it'll be fixed anytime soon even that clipping sounds horrible. Looks to be a 1981 Gen 1 WS-3000 on a pre-864. Heck it even sounds amazing on fast wail. Does the other sirens in Idaho falls work? (sorry for derailing btw)

I think Idaho Falls did away with their system because as of now a lot of the sirens are removed. I think the 3000 still exists and the clipping was fixed

Probably the Whelen Vortex in Cuba, Ohio. It was perfectly fine when i recorded it back in 2019, albeit slightly quieter than most sirens in the county. When I went there back in august however, it only did a half-second burst of each signal.

Yes its still there, not sure about the other 2020s there. What purpose did these serve?

...To warn people? Yeah, they're not exactly great at doing their job but the entire point of an ATI is to warn or notify people, just like any other siren. They're cheap, which is why cities buy them.

After reading your reply's, I've had an idea for a post. What is the oldest siren still active? I will leave someone else to do it as I'm kinda lazy lol
