All the Xt22's used 14 inch rotors, so the sound output was the same throughout the production run. All the ones I've seen have been 10 horsepower three phase and 7 1/2 horsepower single phase.

But speaking of range, I've heard the single phase 2t22 in Rhine at my house, which is six miles from the siren. Wind has to be blowing just right though.

That is nice to hear.

Likewise, I am a big fan of Thunderbolts.

This is one of my favourite siren videos. A fantastic sound. :thup:

Thank you for the technical details about the Xt22s.

The impressive six mile range of a Xt22 can that be matched by an electronic siren?
