Honestly to my perspective a 130 Decibel 2001 siren is way too overkill for such a town. If there is already a 2001 there, despite being a fairly old model by now that covers the entire town, why not go with a smaller, omnidirectional siren like a T-121 or an Eclipse 8? That would be more cost effi...
I'm not sure where anyone here got the idea that any model of 2001 is unreliable. I've only seen a handful of videos of 2001s experiencing any major issues, 99% of the thousands of 2001s across the country work perfectly fine and without issue. Even units that are over 35 years old now are still ki...
What reasons are there for saving it, pray tell, besides your own personal vanity? Let's say they were to procure a 2001-130. The 2001-130 is a better siren in every way than the Howler. Less complex, more reliable rotation system, significantly louder, more modern controls, and time tested reliabi...

When my dad messaged them about the siren two years ago and they said once it dies, it’s done. But the fi...

Officially the event will take place on Saturday, May 31st at Camp Tesomas in Rhinelander, WI. What’s changing? This year we have a new registration system to handle...

I agree. I am on the very young side of the community (14), and I own multiple sirens, including a Model 2. This is a powerful siren, yet I have never used it for a full blast in my city; I have only used it for small growls. The ONLY times I do full blasts with ANY siren, it's only usually my Model...
