ATI fans? lmfao :lol:
You never know. I saw at least one user on here who actually liked them as if they were the best siren on the market.

I'd be a bit surprised if this was a radio malfunction and not operator error, since ATI uses some decent Motorola receivers.

Now I can't speak for their amplifiers or compression drivers, since I don't know where they are manufactured.

True ATI does have a decent reciever. I almost wonder... If it were compatable of course... But I wonder if the ATI would be a little better with the whelen orange drivers?

Not gong to derail this topic too much, but ATI has a great siren design/concept in my opinion. It's the hardware, equipment, and frequencies that they use that make them a bad siren.

Thank you, Brendan, for your thoughtful (and likely correct) response. The derailment is extraordinary in this thread.

Well their sirens are nothing more than ASC E-Classes right?

The speakers on the E-Class are the same, but that's about it. I don't remember if anyone on here has been able to confirm whether or not they are using the same drivers that come with the speakers or using Atlas 100 Watt drivers.

The thread is about sanfrancisco's siren system going off which happens to be ATI. Were talking about ATI and figuring things with ATI. Extraordinary would be talking about like potatoes or something... Quick bump off topic but people yell at me for saying stuff like that and yet when someone else does... Ah whatever, it doesn't matter. Anyways back on topic. No if I remember it right ATI does use the atlas drivers. But don't quote me on that.
