I was at the Bressler Fire Department where there was no TMI siren and now there is a P-10 there. I went to the Lower Swatara Fire Department, the Cyclone is still up but on the other side of teh parking lot is a 2001. The sirens do not have to be broken to get 2001... the Cyclone at Lower Swatara Township works great but they decided to put up a 2001 in it's place. If I had a digital camcorder I would go out and video a test but I don't own one of those (and I am broker than broke). There is a good 2 monthes or more before they get tested again....other than the 3 minute test every third month.. they don't get tested (not even a bump on Saturday at Noon). There is a good spot that I know of that is right in between a P-10 and a 2001 (about a half mile from both)... I have to get a recording there next time the test comes up and with some luck I will post it.

our original system was installed in 1982 with ACA Cyclone C-125s and Penetrator 10s. recently, they've been installing and adding FS 2001SNRBs in areas to supplement or replace existing sirens. I was told the reason for the 2001s is that they can be used with battery backup power, whereas the P10s and Cyclones can't.
the past 2 years, they've done the 3-5 minute annual test on june 29 (my birthday) and am hoping that they're doing it that day this year too. I've already taken the day off of work.
to those who haven't heard the infamous siren test I posted from last year of a P-10 firing up, I'll make a new post today. I have to find a good FTP first though
