Besides the Allertronic is a much older design than the Vortex, maybe even older than the 3016.

Interesting!
I know nothing about electronic sirens. What is a driver/throat? Is it the thin part on Whelen Vortexes, between the flat thing and the opening? I'm sorry if I'm doing a terrible job describing this.

I'm looking forward to this!

Yes, the throat is what connects the drivers to the projection horn. It's job is to carry the sound out through the front opening.

Thanks! So the throat is the thing from the drivers to the opening thingy? (don't know what to call it.)

cool. I know quite a bit about electronic and mechanical sirens, and even I learned something. Not to steal the mods' job, but let's try to get this back on topic. Sorry if this offends/upsets any mods/admins.

The "Throat" is just the small end of the projector.
