Those are probably just voice announcements for the Mods. It would appear as if the Mod(s) are at a fairgrounds, park, or other venue where many city events are held. Interesting selection of messages...very comprehensive.

Wow that is really nice Mike. I'm guessing that the fireworks cancelled and the other 2 general announcements are just voice and no siren tone? Do you guys ever growl test? And again, thank you for doing this. You don't have to take the time to do this for us and yet you do, so thank you.

We usually only do growl tests after a siren is serviced or to test it after clearing a fault. The first row of activation commands activates all of our sirens as well as the Informer Receivers. The second row is for the Modulator siren only and has the pre-programmed announcements. The third row is for the Informer receivers only.

That's a cool setup. If you use the "Monthly Test'' button, will it set off everything including the Modulator. Or does the Modulator have to be activated using the middle row all the time?

Monthly Test button activates everything. It tests all sirens and receivers.
