No. The battery box on the Type 2 and 3 boxes (voice capable) are the battery compartments. They're integrated in the Type 1. Its not an extra box for voice capability.

Sorry brofus. I knew what I meant and that's all that matters. What I meant to say is this: If the cabinet is all one piece (Type 1, which is used on the Vortex, Hornet, and OmniAlert), then it is an OA-2. The WPS series would have a shorter top box with a smaller compartment on the bottom for batteries. Better?

Are you sure it is a Whelen 2802 not a Whelen 2902?

It is a 2802. Or it could be an OA-2. The heads are the same but the control cabinet of the WPS models has an extra attachment on the bottom for the voice controls, which OmniAlerts don't have.

No. The battery box on the Type 2 and 3 boxes (voice capable) are the battery compartments. They're integrated in the Type 1. Its not an extra box for voice capability.

Me and Shaw live in a state that has real sirens, so there is no real need to worry about speakers, and whatever type of an odd name they give them.

Do my eyes deceive me, or are the ports circular?

[Chicagosirenhunters]

I can sort of see what you mean. The shadow of the siren makes it hard to see.

[SirenMadness]

Could it be a Hedberg?

[Daniel]

It is a 2V8 with rectangular ports.

Me and Trainsandsirens1 were wondering what this was. It's in Pendleton, SC:

Two Atlas speakers with exposed (and rough looking) drivers. Likely just a PA system of some sort.
