Whelen Vortex R4 Repairs, And Brief Air-Horn/Alert Tests! (2/23/22)

[@GokantheHusky]

Idk why but the vortex r4s have the most badass sounding airhorn

[@CentralALSirens]

I had a fantastic time coming up from Birmingham, besides getting pissed on the in rain Tuesday Night during the Tornado Warnings. I definitely want to come back up again!

[@seanjuth]

Nice video!

[@MAB-Of]

Cool!

[@SouthGeorgiaSirens]

I actually had no Idea that they could report back the status like that, awesome video!

[@seanjuth]

That's exactly why we have the computer. Without that computer we'd be blind in the status. There's actually three types of status reports that we can actually get. Bad news is that the county that this siren is in, has a lot of 864 controllers which we cannot plug our computers into.

[@SailorKirby]

Sounds like hard work but fun. Nice video btw, keep up the good work guys!

[@seanjuth]

It definitely is hard work! Especially when the company who installed the sirens reprograms them to not show error codes

[@SailorKirby]

@@seanjuth I can see why. I kinda wanna learn more about siren controls for myself

[@emrilbennett8704]

Same

[@rockstar5919]

Ok so yes this is a year ago but it sounded like a 560hz how did you get it down to a 435hz

[@BNSFSantaFe842]

1:02 That sounds like a nuclear mealtdown.

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

Cool

[@STLMetroSirensMain]

do you guys have a whelen encoder in the car or something?

[@seanjuth]

No but that's something that we hope to have soon. Especially since this county has a lot of 864 controllers which we cannot plug our computers into to get status reports

[@STLMetroSirensMain]

@@seanjuth hmm, you should probably get an E-969, its smaller, and it supports the countys sirens

[@seanjuth]

@@STLMetroSirensMain no we need an e 2010. Because it can automatically report statuses. We're working on it

[@STLMetroSirensMain]

@@seanjuth ah yeah true, forgot about that
