Which is better?

[Shinkansen]

Which siren would you all say is better in your oppinion? Federal Signal PA300 or PA20 Interceptor? I'd say the PA20.

That's like comparing apples and oranges. The PA20 is only 58w while the PA 300 is 200w. Also, the PA 20 lacks air horn tones and uses older an less reliable electronics.

If your talking tone wise however, both the PA20 and PA200 are awesome.

Yes I ment tone wise. Should have specified.

Yeah... nothin' beats the sound/tones of the old Interceptor. I made my "bones" in EMS using it back in the 1970's. The new tones sound more "sterile" to me-- the Interceptor PA20 had class (even at 58W with no air horn).

Call me nostalgic, I guess

The PA 300 had a cool new sound and was loud! I liked the old ones with the long drawn out windup and quick wind-down. Nice "backwords" yelp too!
