This is a recording of the only ASC in our system. It was taken from Ball State University after they installed 3 Whelen 4004's. Downtown had no coverage so the EMA decided to put it on top of the county courthouse. It was a very overcast, cold, and rainy day. But the test must go on....

True we don't.
LI is almost strictly Federal country, with a few Sterlings thrown in and perhaps a few remaining yet inactive ACA Penetrators collecting rust on their poles from the days of the Shoreham nuke plant.
Nice to hear a Banshee in the wild, though...so to speak.

Nice video, even if it sounded a little underpowered, but I'm still waiting for a video of a single toned Banshee.

I am hoping to get one this March during the Kansas Statewide Tornado Drill. I had originally wanted to record it this Jan. but found our they test March-October. Also, It doesn't sound underpowered to me...

How many ports does a single-tone Banshee have?

I think 8 ports.
