Skip to 6:05...he got a good shot of the funnel cloud as he's pulling away!

Minor correction, it'd be PN20, not P-20.
Good to see it's still used. Sounds a bit higher pitched than usual.

I accidentally woke my girlfriend up yesterday laughing my head off when the guy said "Let's get the f*** out of here!" and zoomed away. That was a pretty dumb thing for him to do if you ask me.

Sounds like there's another even higher pitched RM-130 in the distance.

Minor correction: All the sirens I have seen personally in Billings were RM-130's. Those versions don't have 25 batteries, either.

What I was trying to say is the ACA name for it was PN20, not P-20. I'm quite aware the ones made by ASC were named RM 130, and I'm not implying Billing's sirens are ACA branded, either. Where in my post did I say it wouldn't have been named RM 130? Explain that, please.

I don't quite think Justin was correcting him on the RM-130 part of the name... read the post before you go slamming people.

Here's something interesting about Billings's system. The OP says that they test their sirens once a week. I was surprised that they even test them once a year, with as fiew tornados as they have.

500 AT fan - "I talked to Jim Biersach about it a while back. The yellow ones were Performance + Penetrators, and the gray/improved ones were PN20s. One main difference between the two is that the Performance + Penetrator used 25 batteries, and the PN20 used not so many. I don't know where "RM-130" originated."

500 AT fan - "What I meant was I didn't seen anything like a catalog or brochure from ASC stating the RM/OM names."

You're welcome.

You live, you learn. We're not perfectionists. Deal with it.

And I've learned since (from an ASC worker) RM 130 was a real name. Stop bashing on me just because I was wrong back then. I don't bash any of you people for anything you've been wrong about in the past, do I?

Get over peoples' mistakes. We are all human. While Justin shouldn't have pushed incorrect information at least he has the balls to stick his hands up and say that he was wrong!

And to be honest, arguing over something that's getting very old, tiring and the name of a bloody siren? Just leave it guys, it doesn't make yourself look good slamming someone that made a mistake. You may as well go and change your name to Adolf Hitler if you want to keep this up, because you do not seem to show any sympathy towards human nature.

You're welcome.
