Whelen Vortex, VorBolt / ThunderTex Full Alert, Farmers Branch, TX

[@OWS_Crazy1]

Sweet, that definitely sounds a lot like a Thunderbolt

[@HSETM]

@OWS Crazy1 the FS VorBolt!

[@HSETM]

@Karol Matias Sánchez Inda or an XT22, or a Mobil directo

[@Sirenfireproductions5209]

UltraVoices/Siratones can be pitched coded. It's takes longer to code an ultravoice than it does on a siratone though.

single tone wind up+dual tone 5/6 port steady= B E A U T I F U L

[@JMANWiSS]

By far the best vortex I've ever heard or seen on video. Excellent drone shot!

[@dallasrailfanner3870]

Thank you for recording The alarm for Farmers branch! I live there! These sirens sound pretty amazing and rare!

[@loganmshelts]

Now you just have to find the level 4 ones. :)

[@borkluchtalarm]

WOW, that sounds amazing!

Introducing the all new electronic thunderbolt

[@kansasstatealerting717]

Funny to see the rotator get confused about which way to go.

[@kansasstatealerting717]

@TBB747 I know this lol

[@nvaa1991]

When you town can't afford a restored Thunderbolt:

[@NTXstorms]

When you put it as “a well-off city buying a 30+ year old used siren” it doesn’t sound good.

I get that lol, I was returning the favor

[@mattmakesmachines]

They use the voice function on these so a thunderbolt would not fit the bill They already had the vortexes so Goddard replaced the old controllers and now they work like a charm (other than the prototype position decoder and rotation board)

[@Snowcube]

Sounded like an Alertronic on that wind down lol

[@adamssirenadventures6574]

Nice video, sounds like a Thunderbolt 1000T/1003

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Chopper level 4 lmao. Also sure pulses much better than any 6M thunderbolt I know of lmfao! Definitely the funniest siren video out there. Amazing video!

[@MasenMonster]

Sure I get that a lot of people think this sounds like a tbolt, to me it sounds a bit more like a 10/12 port Allertor.

[@SixThreeTech]

Whoa! its an R4S, the rotator is like a WS series rotator

[@owensanders7432]

Great video it’s weird sounding must be rare

[@NTXstorms]

It's a Federal Signal controller custom programmed by Goddard.

[@Snowcube]

@@NTXstorms It sounds super cool, I wonder if it would be possible to program these to sound like a 9/12 or 8/12 port siren.

[@NTXstorms]

@@Snowcube Most likely, Goddard messes with pitches on most of their installs. Look up Modulators in Baytown and Oklahoma.

[@SixThreeTech]

@@NTXstorms Well those sirens have MCP controllers so federal signal gave the option to sound like a thunderbolt

[@NTXstorms]

They are UltraVoice

[@Amdw119]

where is this siren located

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Wow sounds like a thunderbolt but what is that thing hanging from the speaker drivers?

[@NTXstorms]

Fin

[@jackgaming0592]

Did this vortex replace a thunderbolt and is that why it sounds like a thunderbolt or is it just because the county decided to have it sound like a thunderbolt?

[@NTXstorms]

The installer made it sound like a thunderbolt

[@jackgaming0592]

@@NTXstorms Oh okay! Interesting! Thanks for the clarification!

[@Kerk.714]

That's very amazing

[@MykEAS]

Yeah, it sure is!

[@dank980]

What is the fin on the back for?

[@Person947]

Idk if its 4/5 port or 10/12 port

[@Ikesandknifes]

Sounds like a smooth Aca alerttor 125 on 10/12 port

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

This sounds like an old dual toned ACA Alertronic siren.

[@SilverThunder710]

That sounds more of a dual-tone Allertronic or XT22

[@blueguycommenteryt7054]

whats with the portmanteau? it sounds funny ok now I know

[@dfwrproductions]

Where is this siren

[@NTXstorms]

Is this a joke

[@dfwrproductions]

@@NTXstorms no im serious like i know its farmers branch but *where* in farmers branch cause my friends told me the siren thats supposed to sound like a 2t22 from a distance is the one towering over the family dollar store on valwood parkway and the drone shot in this video doesnt seem like it cause i think that siren im thinking of has the tundertex or something programming and i wanna know if this is it

[@NTXstorms]

I thought you meant you couldn’t see it in the video 😭. Here (32.9381033, -96.8326760)

behold the vortex that dreamed of being a 1000T

[@ianssirenproductions]

It even sounds like it has a blower to me

[@ixellion02]

wow! I guess that fortworth is the only one doing attack

[@SixThreeTech]

so they replaced the controller with a thunderbolt tone progammed uv or MCP ??

[@NTXstorms]

UltraVoice

[@SixThreeTech]

@@NTXstorms owo nice, so its a ThunderUV (it means it has thunderbolt tones)

[@NTXstorms]

Mhm yes

[@SixThreeTech]

@@NTXstorms have you ever recorded an analog whelen??

[@NTXstorms]

No

[@Kasey1776]

That pole....

[@JP3_C6Z]

ALL Whelen Vortex/400X’s should come this way

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

What’s wrong with the sirens rotator, eh?

[@NTXstorms]

They are Federal Signal controls on a Whelen product, it’s not designed to be that way but it can be done. So expect some issues.

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

NTXstorms okay. Other than that, nice video. I like the sound of the Thunderbolt in a Whelen Vortex. Keep it up, man!

[@HSETM]

FS has never made any oscillating sirens, so the controller gets confused about which way to go, because it can't go 360 or the wire will snap

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

Moonage Lift and Siren Productions whoa!

[@HSETM]

@@iangilldjsuperdude It's the way newer whelens are designed

[@RandomTransits]
