" as they were recently tested not on normally scheduled testing day and worked." All I can say to that.. Lucky it worked this time. The number of failure with that system is very high. It's only a matter of time it's going to fail. we'll see who fails first Grapevine or Dallas as they go...

What the manual says: Tone symbol Freq. Alert /------\ 560Hz attack ^^^^^^^ 410-490Hz Whoop ///////////// 300-465Hz these are the tones t...

I'm thinking that this is a case of "we forgot to test," or you showed up at the wrong time. Dallas/Ft. Worth area has decided that they will test either Noon, 1PM, or 2PM, on the first Wednesday of the month. A small percentage of NT cities do other days like the first Saturday at Noon, ...
