Well, that's already been done. It's not a DSA siren, but it 'tis a rotational electronic siren.

There was a lightning documentary made stone ages ago that featured a Golf club and it's lightning alert system. Tuscon, AZ I think it was located.

Just featured the stock-standard police car wail signal.

We have both DSAs and Modulators where I work, and they sound pretty good, I love the winddown they have at the end.

Too bad they didn't paint the sirens burnt orange, and have them sound like a Thunderbolt siren. That would have been very cool :D

well for one reason all there tones are in wav format those are extremly huge. I just got done overhauling my music & converting them to Mp3 formate & I have a more space then ever. the wavs took up 50% of my harddrive.

If those were ASC sirens, they would have been an Alertronic series, model 8000 siren with uni-directional coverage.

Yeah, but you can tell from the close-ups that they are FS sirens because the Alertronic sirens don't have those supports going from the driver housing to the pole. Alertronics are just big boxes with sirens sticking out of them.

Anyone have the other three locations?

The other locations I could think of besides the Law School, are the Communications School, Printing Department east of I-35, and The Jester Center Residential Building.
