That is really cool, they are choosing the 508 for new sirens and updating old ones I assume? I really like that video as well, the way they but the other siren models on the screen was neat.

Yeah I love how they put all the model names under the siren and most of them correct!

Most all of those pictures are screen captures from KDKsiren's videos from around town. Their OEM website is pretty cool and has some detailed information about the actual siren system with links to videos.

Wow, huge props to the news station for actually having a graphic depicting all of the models. In general, their story was well researched versus the newscasts consisting of a reporter saying "some new sirens are going up" followed by aimless interviewing of people on the street asking their opinions.

It's offical... I love their EMA. I wonder if the Alertronics will get UVs installed.

This reminded me of the video ATI posted on Youtube of a news report on Wichita sirens and this lady says she could never hear the old one and hopefully she will hear the new ATI better.

The Allertor still wins the prize for strangest looking siren.
