That has to be the largest weather radio ever

it would have been more benefical if you would have shown how you hooked up and configured the system to overide. There is nothing on youtube that shows how to configure, setup (wiring) and then test or even have it automated when an alert happens. Though you are one of the better video for a simple demo.

Looks just like Los Angeles

They should upgrade there system….

Where can I get a endec 1822? Because all I find is a endec 3644

there was another video of this but it was a mother with her kids

The siren system was NOT decommissioned. Most were replaced with upgraded sirens and some sirens relocated onto tall poles throughout the city

Awesome catch! Pretty cool how your office does live voice.

0:31 when I saw my first thunderbolt alongside 95 in Stamford Connecticut I thought the same thing

i find these really interesting tbh, i'm no eas geek at all and i never knew these alerts we seen for decades ran on a machine. very great find!

-This old Firefighter worked Station 8 Denver in 1970--- Wow that was 54 years ago, right after it opened-- At that time we ran Pumper 8, not called an Engine in those days, Snorkel 8 an 85' rig, and Squad 8 which I worked on and dearly loved. I did 42 years in the Fire service and loved every day of it. I went on to work Miami-Dade 28 years with many of them on Telesquirt 2 (S-2) and S-11 both at times the busiest trucks in the country. I was blessed.

Even if the call volumes have been obscured, Los Angeles Light Force 11 has since dominated Denver Truck 4 over being the busiest truck company since our homeless crisis has gone up in smoke 😭

That is cool. I like this radio. I first unboxed mine and it didn’t work but then it started working and has worked ever since.

Not very descriptive with what wires on the cord are positive and negative. Also, you should probably strip the white and black wires a little bit

Can you do that in Italy?

This is a great radio. I have one myself

Why did the Damien it

idk why but the Baofeng UV-5R speakers are ridiculously loud it's awesome

My endec shows the rom version but wont go past it. You know why this could be?

I saw you

NERD!!!

NERD!!!!

Dude?

It’s actually still here as of 2023 we are going to Denver tomarrow and we will check up on it but we went and saw it. Btw this was my first ever thunderbolt siren I’ve seen.

I own one of these, and this is what I can come up with: [ PROS ] - Best screen interface of any weather radios that I've come across that isn't a literal LED screen. - One of the clearest sound quality for a weather radio. - Radio DXing is possible if you're into that sorta stuff. - Options to disable certain warnings are available such as Amber Alerts. [ PRO or CON ] - Alarm is intensely loud. Depending on what you're looking for this can be a good or a bad thing. [ CONS ] - Abysmal battery life (fatal flaw). Does not last more than a couple hours. Basically becomes useless if you don't have it plugged in. Have rechargeable batteries with you. - CT (clock tuning) isn't always accurate, so the clock display isn't as credible. - The fading from the alarm tone to the radio can cut off a few snippets of the message. I would recommend if you like your radios loud and scary, a heavy sleeper or like detailed things. I would avoid if you live in noise-sensitive environments or need to use it portably.

This was probably when Boulder’s computers were down and Pueblo had to take over for some time.

I have a Baofeng too, I use it for boy scouts

i like your plushies ^^

Bou issues to many every winter -_- and the most in covent times MAINLY WHEN IM ASLEEEP

How did you program your echo to do that?

I was NOT liveduring this event because we were under NO risk for severe weather (according to the SPC)

Born and grown up in Denver all my life. Denver around 2009-2013 replaced there existing cold war system with the newer 2001-130’s or replaced the control boxes on there already existing 2001’s. The only still existing siren that I know of from Denvers old system is a 1000T that sits on top of Station 26. Brewing Co. that used to be the Old Station 26 firehouse. That T-Bolt hasnt been turned on since 2009 I think.

Ngl I cannot bear to watch the videos with other people on call with someone on discord but thanks for this

Heard back from englewood about their testing schedule (actually had to email Arapahoe county bc englewood doesn’t check their emails but whatever) they said they test every second Wednesday at 11, but didn’t specify if they just growl or do a full alert. I’m going to check it out whenever I can.

Nice purchase! The CT button is supposed to make its clock sync up with the time transmitted from an FM RBDS station, but I don’t have any that do that, so I don’t know how well that works.

my favorite weather radio, great weather sensitivity, pretty good fm with rds, sometimes need to tilt antenna around to get some, am reception not very good but still there for night scanning, good single speaker, external antenna input, good bass for size after going to tone control but still not to the level of cambrodge cd-740 (i love bass) and i like it’s blue and white display and insane customization

You finally took my firebuffing advice

Eeeeeee,???

Thanks

?

Madison County (including Winterset, Earlham, St Charles, Bevington, Patterson, Macksburg, East Peru, and Truro) all test their sirens the First Saturday of the Month at 1pm, March-October, weather permitting. They only test for about less than a minute though.

I got this weather radio on my birthday in 2021

3:29:49 is when the alert happens

Is it better than the Midland w300 do you think? I just bought this one in your video for 36.00 that's tax and shipping off ebay with original box and manual I think
