This is part of the reason people should have a weather radio/apps on the cell or tablet and why reverse 911 is a pretty good thing to utilize instead of putting your trust into the sirens only. All three should be used together. A YouTuber said they have ATI equipment, is this true?

Dane County recently replaced all of the 130+ siren's controls with ATI controls. Someone said that they also replaced the sound boards on the EOWS sirens, but it doesn't appear to be true as I recorded a 1212 and it had the original FS tone.
