@@SirenViewer Explain why does it have the ACA logos then

BRUH 😭

@@CoolSirens1000T yes

@@midwestsirensandtrains Close. It is a Mini 2

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Nice! I couldn't quite tell, but I saw the design looked like a DJI Mavic.

Oh yeah. I’ve also heard other Penetrators, and this was by far the loudest (aside from the P-50 ofc). It’s a lot like a P-15 but about twice as loud as way more punchy. Less chest rattling tho as it is higher pitched but it’s still impressive for a high pitched siren like that to shake stuff. This also makes Thunderbolts seem like an XT22 in comparison. Now I also finally know how loud a 2001-130 should be and I can safely say, the 2001-130s aren’t anywhere near 130dB. ACA and ASC sure weren’t lying about these being around 130dB bc they’re SUPER loud

Thanks Alex! Loved your video of the T-128 too!

Oh it was more than loud, and yeah it does kinda sound like a 2001 lol but it’s much louder. It almost peaks like a 2001 and yet it’s louder than the loudest Thunderbolt I’ve heard. Makes sense as it has one really well designed chopper, which is the same as the one in the Screamer S-5/S-2

Fr. Glad I finally got my lazy ass up and drove over there myself

Thanks man! I heard you had fun too

The PN-20 was made by ACA, the RM-130 is meant to look like it though

@@SirensOfWisconsin1679 Yeah it's kinda like the P-50 and the ASC T-135AC bs

@@GabrielCL2T22A correct

this is an RM-130. well...technically, in the late 90s ACA became ASC and they rebranded a lot of siren models with new names, the PN20 was one of them, it became the RM130. just like how the P50 became the T135AC

@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirensdoesn’t mean that this is an rm-130, it was put on the pole as a PN-20

Yeah. I don’t like it at all when 2001s fail. Especially ones that have Fulton radios as those are supposed to be very reliable. I’ll check up on it tomorrow and see if it rotated bc tomorrow is the day of the full test. I’m going to a PN-20 for it btw

That SRNb is the best 2001 I've ever been to

@@vcvcf1896 yeah it has a good track record so I was surprised it failed a growl test like that. It apparently just misread the tones which is the reason why it failed. Hopefully I see that it has rotated tomorrow bc if not, I would be reporting it

Yes

It’s not a public frequency, therefore I can’t tell anyone

The FSK didn’t activate it, it was the DTMF later. But Whelens can activate with custom FSK similar to the one in the video if they have custom radios and knowing Fulton, they sometimes put the radios into the controls of sirens instead of outside the controls in a separate box like on the ASC sirens they sell which is why I was scanning the frequency of the Fulton system bc I thought the FSK might be what sets off AH’s sirens but clearly, it’s not the case at all. Mount Prospect’s Whelens used the FSK before they got replaced tho as they were on NWCD’s Fulton system, but they had the Fulton radios mounted outside the controls on the pole in a separate control box. Whelen has their own FSK activation too btw. I heard it and it sounds like a very goofy version of ATI FSK

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Yeah I know it's strange.

@@GabrielCL2T22A yeah Fulton is weird with their setups. I was surprised to find out their radio stuff isn’t as weird…except just some of the FSK commands tho that is. I might attempt to decode some of them to try and figure out what they really are for just so I get a better idea of how the stuff works

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Yeah there are things we wish that we can do but we can't.

Do you have a scanner that can scan it tho is a better question lol. Any updates on you getting that FSK Fulton system? Also, if you want the frequency, you message me on IG

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL I have a Uniden BCD436HP Digital scanner, which can do 25-1300MHz. unfortunately that plan fell through sadly. okay will do. but what is your insta?

I got the files from my friend and I am not giving them out anymore

Fr. That custom DTMF and FSK is cool af

Yeah, the mesh really buzzes on this one lol. Ngl, it’s pretty cool when Whelens do that

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Do you know what frequencies tend to buzz the most? I've always thought of 435 and 465hz, but are there more?

@@MichanaAlerting Yeah that and also 450Hz. There is a 465Hz Whelen WPS 2809 near this one which was recorded and it really buzzes

It was cloudy af…no shadows whatsoever lol. The drone shot prb makes it look like that as the top of the siren gets the most light than the sides and bottom lol

Thanks man!

Glad you loved it! Your vid is great too!

Yes it was!

*chopper go brrrr*

Fr I had to REALLY turn up my scanner bc they were almost drowning out my tones lol. In fact the FSK was barely distinguishable from the cicadas 😂 luckily the system encryption tone sends every 48 seconds automatically so I could adjust the volume before the test
