So last year while traveling to Colorado, I decided to make Kansas my halfway point and maybe catch a siren test along the way. I had a couple locations in mind, but ultimately decided for Wichita. Because of dumb luck, it so happened to be their special “attack mode” test; commemorating the 70th anniversary of the city's first ever air raid test. This one is located on 25th street and Estelle Street at Progressive Baptist Church. It’s a 1000T siren with some wacky attack signal timing. But most importantly it was in an area I could easily fly the drone. The surrounding ATIs surprisingly sound pretty good at the distance. The closest at WSU. They do more of a fast-wail-like signal for some reason but still a nice ambience.
Sirens are a pretty big deal down here and this special test got a lot of attention. The moment I got the drone up, I noticed a local news station was parked behind the corner, armed with a camera for a video. It’s funny cause that night I ended up watching that same clip.
Sirens in Sedgewick County are tested weekly on Mondays at noon except during holidays or if skies look threatening.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!

ok the ATIs sound incredible
What the hell is that timing and those ati’s at the end sound terrifying
Really odd Attack cycle, but still great video Brandon!
That’s a sad attack cycle.
It’s 3 on 6 off I believe
fr. the agastat setting does not agree with the timing
Wow, the howling sirens in the distance sound so amazing. Nice vid Brandon, thanks !
Very nice video, it's great to see a different bolt in attack
My guess is that its the ATI RTU doing the timing instead of the AR Timer (if thunderbolts have them directly on the pole). The ATI system is terrible. That is why the Sedgwick County EMA is doing a phased plan to replace I believe all the sirens in the county with either 508s or 2001-130s (some have already been done). They are even upgrading the ones that can to be solar-powered. Some of the old Thunderbolts were refurbished by Goddard Enterprises and reinstalled at Wichita fire stations with Federal Signal controllers instead of the ATI RTUs.
Yes, the bolts will be getting FCTBDHs
Whoa awesome video dude! I'll say this thing sounds pretty damn good but my god, that attack tuming hurts...
If only the timing could be adjusted on those ATI RTUs
Good as allways!
That attack timing is fucked up. Also, them ATIs at the end sound terrifying! 😟
Wow that's awesome 💯
awesome!
Nice vid! Pretty weird attack timing tho but still cool
sound kinda cool with the other ambiance in the background
Nice vid
Thunderbolts forever
Oh hey, Brandon. I drove thru French Lick, IN earlier and saw the T-128 right next to a 2001-130 at the school across from the resort. You should record them sometime. I’d love to hear a dual test. Unless the 128 has been disconnected. But you oughta go sometime.
Nice
I was wondering how do you figure out what scanner frequency the siren activates woth
Great video! Did you catch any tests when you were in Colorado?
Nah, wish I did. I ended up taking photos of Calhan's 500 but that's about it. Seems like a lot of places only test annually up there.
@@DSRX100 Dang. There’s several towns across eastern Colorado that do weekly or monthly tests. Calhan’s 500 sadly is an annual. If you’re out again, give me a shout, I can point you to some towns that test more than once a year.
Man. That attack timing is fucked up
What camera do you use?
I've never seen timing this bad before. Were you able to report it to EMA?
It’s the timing on the ATI RTU. It’s not adjustable unfortunately.
@@sirenfan97 That explains everything.
Only way to fix it is the bypass the agastat.
Yo it pulled a Zearing IA move, also that attack timer could be fixed or the agastat could be adjusted a tiny bit...
The attack timing is being controlled by the ATI RTU. There's no way to adjust it
That's a hot mess 🤔
Kinda sounds like the Big Island Ohio Thunderbolt.
Broken 1000T
What’s wrong with the timing
Tunderbolt a better👍
