Cool. That test was entirely my doing. We finally got the 911 center to set them off and I didn't know that silver dollar city went off. They said that they were only doing Kimberling. They complain about getting complaint calls when they set them off, so they are very hesitant in doing tests. Good to hear that it works though! Next time you come to silver dollar city, shoot me a PM, I am only about 20 mins away.

Ok, no problem! I do know that it was installed in the 1980's (I think) because of the little handle on the top of the blower box (C series). They usually do a little blast without the blower for tests, (about 10 seconds), but for warnings the blower engages as well, and does the 3 minute alert as far as I'm concerned... I have no idea why it went off with the blower only for a test...

Yeah, it's a C series Single phase 1000BT. It was made sometime in the 80's. I need to contact them and tell them I will program the controller to do Attack. It would work extremely well in a area like SDC. When do they do the chopper only tests? That building is newer, it was built in 2000 something so they got it from somewhere else, most likely Springfield. I'm pretty sure that it is wired for everything to go off if the controller engages it.

I think it's on it's own timer set for Saturday's at noon. They do only chopper tests, well for obvious reasons, noise... I think your right about it coming from Springfield. It may have come from Republic as well, because that's when they started replacing theirs with 2001's and Modulators of different sizes.

Well, I will see if I can head up there on Saturday and see if It works. Most of the sirens in stone county came from Greene county, so it would make sense.

Laurie,Gravois Mills,and Warsaw are all towns on the north end of the lake and all 3 have ASC T121 sirens.Two in Laurie. Two in Gravois Mills and at least three in Warsaw. There is one in Preston as well. I wonder who the ASC vendor is for that area? If memory serves me correct there are T121s in some of the towns near Lake Pomme De Terre including Stockton.Also a couple of older ACA sirens in Stockton as well. Screamers or Banshees. Whichever look like a couple of tophats on a pole. Anyway,that's enough out of me for one night.

I belive Stockton has banshees, several T-121's and a unknown siren in the courthouse.

I also don't know if it's on it's own timer for regular tests. That was just a guess. When I heard it, it was on a Saturday at noon, so I don't know if the city set it off or what...

Yeah, not sure. A few weeks ago before the test, it hadn't moved in 3 months.

Yeah. How did you get access to the blower and RCM panel? Isn't there a fence blocking it off?
