Long story short, Asa and I caught wind of Sam and Dalton's plan to go to Aberdeen after the Minnesota test and decided to tag along. We decided to chance the one that does full hi-lo in the alert weeks and we lucked out. This video is not the greatest given we only had a few minutes to set up and I forgot to re-adjust the exposure, plus my Takstar didn't like the siren (as expected), but it's not too bad. I am in the process of switching over to a Zoom H1n but I am still learning the process. Also, legitimately no clue what it was that happened with the wind down, but it was very entertaining. Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
The City of Aberdeen, as well as some other communities in Brown County, tests their siren system every Wednesday at 6 PM, weather permitting.

That squeal at the wind down?

[@vantaaax]

nice I’m pretty sure there isn’t a video of a siratone eows 612 running full hi-lo so this is a first

[@EOWS812]

A 612 is only called a SiraTone 612 if it is a Pre-1993 Model.

[@EOWS812]

This model is a 2003 I think.

[@vantaaax]

@@EOWS812 but its running off of a siratone control box thats why i said that

[@EOWS812]

@@vantaaax no it’s not. It’s running a custom tone on an MCP.

[@vantaaax]

@@EOWS812 why do you know this
