Sounds like several bad drivers.

Sat for 15 years, those are some good batteries or they've been changing them out.

Do they still sell those 100 watt drivers? I found this on their website.

As far as I know they are the same drivers that are used in the vehicular sirens. They are made by Atlas.

Ian, I think they may have just gone around and replaced all of the batteries. I know I would...

Ian?

Blargh, I meant Jeb. I can't keep you two straight sometimes....

Wow, that siren is in pretty bad shape. Rotor is dead, drivers are 'fluttering', continuous volume fluctuations. Probably will be the best example of what happens when you put something out in the open for years and leave it, pretty good example of neglect.

Here's a map of all the sirens I could find in Bonneville County. It's certainly a motley crew...

• Bonneville County, Idaho Sirens

Are they planning on testing all the sirens in the county, or just those in Idaho Falls proper?

The ones in Idaho Falls are the city's, none of the counties out here have a siren system. They're mostly fire department sirens, or in the unusual case of Idaho Falls and Ammon, the city. What did you use for a source on those sirens? You're missing at least the Model 2 in Iona, possibly more. Oh, and the 3016 isn't exactly pole mounted. The pole itself is on top of the building. Oh, and you might want to move the 2020 on Station 2's pointer to the north end of the building. I took some pictures of the siren there on Wednesday but I've yet to upload them.

The Idaho Falls locations are from KIFI's article on the test, while the rest are from your SE Idaho thread. As for the 2 in Iona, that was an error on my end - it's been added.
