Question for siren owners

This is a question I have for people who own originally pole mounted CD sirens. Who did you have to contact to be able to sound your siren off without repercussions? I would understand needing to contact either county or state EMA, but did you need to contact someone about possible noise complaints ...

Re: Thunderbolt power options

Thank you all for the answers. I really appreciate it. However, with more research, and figuring out that an inactive Whelen vortex is nearby, I have dropped the idea of owning a bolt due to the large amount of power needed.

Thunderbolt power options

This is a question to those who own thunderbolts. How are you powering your siren? Do you have it using house power, or running off a generator? How much power does it need? I'm planning on owning my own thunderbolt 1003 soon so I would appreciate any form of info on how to power it.

Anyone correct me if I am mistaken, but I'm sure it means when said siren can do another signal it was never intended to do. For example, coded Banshees are capable of doing pulse, a signal they were never intended to do on their own.
Ah ok. Thank you

What does it mean when a siren is coded?

Ever since I've found a coded siren on a siren map, I've been wondering what it means for a siren to be coded. If anyone knows the difference between a normal siren and coded siren, please share the answer.

Re: Lauderdale County, MS Siren Map

Nice! I was just there last month. Quick correction, they are not fire sirens but storm sirens. Here’s a map of the system as well as the entire state a couple friends and I did. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1aXNw8Owxi3tnXPbZJZD7jDrBNTXUWhBv&ll=0%2C0&z=7 Looks like im ...

Lauderdale County, MS Siren Map

I've been trying to make a map of the siren system for Lauderdale County, MS. I doubt I have all sirens mapped, but I can't find any more. If anyone knows of any locations of sirens within Lauderdale County, please let me know and I will update the map. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1xc...

Re: Post your weather radios here.

I own a Midland WR-120 and an Eton Zoneguard as well as some handheld mix of a fm/am radio with weatherband, tv, flashlight, and lantern.
Update:
During Christmas, I got an Eton Zoneguard+ and an EAR-10, plus a UV-5R HAM radio.
