The Siren Board

Took these on my way to Auburn.
Phenix City Whelen Vortex:

Smiths Station 2001-SRN and 3T22:


Salem 2001-SRN: DAT zoom


Salem 2001-SRN-AC and "TreeT22":


2001-SRN-AC in Auburn near Shakey's off E Glenn Ave:

DSA in Duck Samford Park:

Seen better days...


MCP Controller. I guess this siren was put in when the county got it's first 2001s, since the controllers on those 2001s are painted like it.

2001-SRNB-AC at 341-367 E Glenn Ave: This siren has a newer FC that has that stainless steel look like the UV on the Modulator I recorded. Makes me wonder if they were put in at the same time.

Started with a Whelen and now ending with a Whelen. Whelen WPS-2904 on the campus.

Wow! Poor 3T22 in Salem.

That first 3T22 looks to be single phase.

Is it just me, or does that pole over near the Phenix City whelen look like an old siren pole?

The Smith's Station 2001 is actually and SRNB. You can tell because the power conduit goes into the side of the rotator box.

You have some nice pics. Well done. But that 3T22...WOW. :wtf:

I guess I just don't understand the reason for installing a DSA configured quite like that one is. It would seem to me that a Mod 2008 would be a much better choice for true 360° coverage. The whole point of the DSA is to focus sound toward specific directions, not to provide 360° coverage.

But what do I know?

My MOM said I could be whatever I wanted to be, AND I WANT TO BE A TREE!
