  • It has trouble rotating in the beginning but fixes it's self after the first minute. This 500SHTT is located ontop of the Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital in Topeka, Kans. It was originally owned and operated by Shawnee County but after they updated their new system, this siren remained silent. The VA decided to buy new controls for it and have Shawnee County continue to operate it. Thus, this siren is owned by the VA Hospital but Shawnee County still sounds it for tests, tornado warnings and non-weather related emergencies.
    Shawnee County test the sirens every Monday at noon, however on the First Monday of the month they are tested in Attack.

    500AT: I'm bringing the old system back!

    They have the older ones in LA, no longer in use unfortunately. The older version doesn’t rotate in circles it just goes side to side.

    I hear the 500AT, the Modulator and the 2001.

    @murrfarms Před 12 lety +1

    No, he is correct. That is the right designation for this particular model of 500 according to both old literature and what's on the nameplate.

    Awesome video! I'm glad the VA broughtt new controls for it and saved this awesome siren. The Mod in the background sounds creepy. To hear both during a warning would be bone chilling!

      amtrak3501 ME TOO IT SOUNDS COOL I TESTED A 500AT ON ROBLOX AND IT WAS COOL I EVEN PLACED ONE ON THE BUILDING IT WAS COOL TO

    @Cemoman17 Před 11 lety +1

    Sadly yes. But the epic thing though is that it is still active with the new system to this day! :D

    Excellent sounding Federal Signal Model 500SH TT in action. However, it has some very serious belt slippage problems.

    @carexpertandy Shawnee County sounds the sirens in Alert for Weather-related Emergencies (like a Tornado) and attack for non weather-related emergencies (like an Attack or perhaps a Haz-Mat Emergency) so they test Attack on the first Monday of the month to make sure both signals work.

    There is one of these in a town farther north which is just the siren without the housing or the rotator. It is sitting on top of City Hall.

  • @foundouthowtochangeytnameb1997

    I could here a Whelen, and I think I could here a different type of federal signal.

  • @Henry_Channel84
    @Henry_Channel84 Před rokem +1

    It sounds like it’s going fast wail instead of attack.And I hear another siren in the background,going attack too.

  • @friedmanirit
    @friedmanirit Před 8 lety +6

    It's actually a 500-SHTT.
    SHTT = Single Horn Two Tone.

    Seems like it’s getting tired out it’s sluggish and getting and struggling to turn or something change to retired as old sirens

  • @jayhawk29
    @jayhawk29  Před 12 lety

    @TBOLT1000 Yes. The only reason it is still in service is because the VA Hospital bought new controls for it.

  • @MidwestSirenProductions

    Nice sounding siren

  • @jayhawk29
    @jayhawk29  Před 12 lety

    @TBOLT1000 Oh yes, I didn't forget about this bad boy. And yeah, if the STL-10 was still up and running the background ambiance would have been epic in attack.

  • @ClayRanger143
    @ClayRanger143 Před 9 lety +1

  • @thecompanycar
    @thecompanycar Před 11 lety

    There actually used to be a working P-50 just south of Burlington, KS next to a dam but it's since been replaced.

  • @garyhstorms10
    @garyhstorms10 Před 12 lety

    Is this the same one that was recorded in Alert a couple of years ago by a different youtube user the location looks the same from the other video of it in Alert

  • @jayhawk29
    @jayhawk29  Před 12 lety

    @garyhstorms10 I recorded this in Alert back in 2008...what video are you referring to tho? Do you have a link or the name of the youtube user?

  • @Cemoman17
    @Cemoman17 Před 11 lety

    @jk Vernon
    Are you sure?!?!?! I've never heard of a p 50 being anywhere in Kansas!

  • @TBOLT1000
    @TBOLT1000 Před 12 lety

    Nice, I never though you would video this thing again, let alone in HD. However though the ambience behind it isn`t as satisfying as it used to be. It just doesn`t sound right.

  • @jayhawk29
    @jayhawk29  Před 12 lety

    @gatrwrks The model 5 is no longer in service.

  • @TBOLT1000
    @TBOLT1000 Před 12 lety

    @jayhawk29 It definitely would of. Is this the only siren from the old system that is still in service?

  • @TheWeatherGuys
    @TheWeatherGuys Před 12 lety

    If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you also try to record this one in Alert again too?

  • @larryhicks5621
    @larryhicks5621 Před rokem

    Isn't this one of the sirens from the old system? How old is it? Is it still operational?

  • @sirendude9903

  • @SWMOWoodsman

    • @amberlynn6914
      @amberlynn6914 Před 7 lety

      Pro Viper the siren that sounds a bit like a bolt is the 500 in the video.

  • @jayhawk29
    @jayhawk29  Před 12 lety

    @TheWeatherGuys I'm going to as soon as possible.

  • @carexpertandy

    So why exactly are they testing in attack?

  • @dinkindane
    @dinkindane Před 2 lety +1

    That’s actually a 500SHTT

    • @sirendude9903
      @sirendude9903 Před 2 lety +1

      500-SHTT is the same thing as a 10/12 port 500AT.

    • @xtramayo3727
      @xtramayo3727 Před 2 lety

      Well the chopper design of the p50 I believe was based off of this siren. But both sirens are very loud but the p50 is just louder because of how large it is
