Well, I asked this youtube guy/FS employee when the Equinox will be added to their website, and he replied:

Well the Equinox was something we did at a clients request. As far as I know this siren will never be marketed. But on the other hand if you were to ask for one and wanted to buy one I was told they would sell it.


Intresting.

It sounds like Southaven, Mississippi may also have at least one.

Wow, it's been a while, but I just had to bud in here.

Carexpertandy is right, that is my video, and to be honest I was a bit skeptical when I heard that sound at band practice. But then I thought to myself, "I mean, come on! I'm hearing it with my own ears. PULL OUT YOUR CAMERA!".

Today, I went exploring only to find the usual 2001-SRN/SRNB and the occasional 2001-130. Then I went over a city to Olive Branch, MS (I don't go there that often), only to find an ASC T-128 staring me down. However, this was about 3 miles away (see photo), but as you can tell in the video it seems much closer.

What are your thoughts? Should I keep exploring for the Equinox or just accept that it was the ASC T-128?

That was most likely the T-128 you heard. The low tone will carry further than the high pitched scream of the 2001.
What happened when Napoleon went to Mt. Olive? Popeye got pissed.
