This things sounds so cool!

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

Hell yeah it does! Echoed amazing in person. Glad they agreed to a new controller cause it works so much better after me and my buddy installed it.

[@BeaverStateOWS]

Cool how you got to change the chopper levels! Please tell me you left it on tap 5.

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

Yeah we set it on 5. Gonna go see it this saturday to see if it all works

[@BeaverStateOWS]

@@SouthCarolinaSirens Awesome!!!

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

What controller did they get installed? IIRC from an older video they had an old 60s AR timer?

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

Me and my buddy actually did the upgrade. We installed a FC on it and took the old AR timer home.

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

@@SouthCarolinaSirens nice! Were you guys able to get them hooked up with county?

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 No because they are a 900Mhz POCSAG paging system and that would be close to 2000 dollars to have all the equipment needed. but we did give them wifi activation, automatic testing, NWR activation and a button on the wall for them to set it off for fire calls if they come into the station.

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

@South Carolina Sirens wow sweet!, the township that is near me uses the P25 PII Trunking system and uses call alert/page to activate and deactivate the sirens they use two mobile radios with relays hooked up to the horn output of the radio and it will activate upon a call alert. Also, is there any chance you got a picture of that interesting setup?

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 I will get a picture of when its complete cause we still have some tidying up to do with the wiring and such

[@FireRescue80]

Nice video!

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Sad it’s not on chopper level 6 anymore…

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

We put it on 1 for the testing at the beginning and then put it on level 5 for the final test and also set the agastat to 6 seconds. It was originally on 7 instead of 6 like you said.

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@SouthCarolinaSirens Ppl just said it was on level 6 tho so that’s why I said that lol. I figured it was 7 as it sounded a lot like New Castle’s Thunderbolt at it’s peak

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

We confirmed it was on 7 after looking in the rcm. But yeah i can see people thinking it was on 6
