Another Insteresting Federal Creation

[Federal Signal fan]

Arse is a funny word.

Of course, I should be going crazy with patriotic "FEDERAL SIGNAL WINS AGAIN" sort of banter, but I seem to see what I believe is just a regular modulator spruced up a bit with some new minor changes. I was kinda expecting a new Modulator to come with flashing red strobes and lightning bolts on it with the ability to play my iPod, but moreover on a serious side, what changes are actually made to the internal components?

Sorry if I'm being incompetent or stupid, but could anyone also tell me what the old modulators had in comparison.

ASC?! I know something about ASC!

I like the T-121 more than the Eclipse, but I always thought the Eclipse was better for small coverage such as coverage gap fillers or maybe a campus or some sort of smaller use. Really wish federal would pump out another horned monster like the #T22 series or a STL/H-10, but I'll go for a new modulator... (I guess it's kind of the same thing... both are sirens.)

Still preferring the T-128 personally. Never was a huge i-Force person, hopefully ASC will get my lightning bolt paint hint.

Well, I should be in bed, have a good one all! Again, excuse any incorrect posting, I kind of use this board as a way to self-check myself with siren things...

I found this yesterday... The Modulator II http://www.alertnotification.com/Modula ... _9633.aspx

Cellular and satellite communication? Hmm...... I see the potential for failure. I wouldn't solely trust those means. I'd have a few different ways of activating them in place. Regardless, that would be pretty cool. Remote activation without having to have a radio system - plus you could activate them from pretty much anywhere that you have an Internet connection. Interesting.

Well at least they were somewhat more honest with the output ratings. The largest model throws out an estimated 124dB. Much more believable than 127 or 128.

I just noticed that they posted a manual for this new siren. Its kinda cool that they went with curved horns inside the cells.

It also appears that they have listed the 2001s as having a solar power option.

Nope. Still on there.

Travis just called me on it. Usually the EOC lets us know when a new one is going in. Guess where I'll be this Friday at 11:30 AM! Hopefully they will let us know what happened to the 2T22 that was there. Last I heard they were going to take it and have it repaired as the motor kicked the bucket and put it up where the AL4000 that sounds bad is. Will be driving by there tomorrow too. Stay tuned.

I believe the 2T22 was in fact, set up somewhere else in Armadillo.
