Sorry about that...I assumed it was in Texas, since Arlington, TX also has Whelens.

There is one siren in Franklin County that uses the hi-lo tone. It's in the Obetz area used for chemical emergencies at the Georgia-Pacific plant.
Word on the street is they aren't crazy about the Whelens they have either because of the cost to maintain them. We'll see if they ever decide to switch to something else.
