Re: Scottsbluff, NE THUNDERBOLT 1003 test

They all functioned for the test besides the East Overland one (the one in the park by Rosita's). That's the first time that one has failed and that's the siren I usual...

Morrison, IL Early ACA P50 model in Alert

Hello all, found this gem while searching YouTube, it's one of the very first generation p50 sirens. It's also the same one featured in the ACA products video floating around on YouTube. Enjoy!
