Highland, IL EOWS-612 Sounding for Severe Thunderstorm Part 2

[SgtSavage166]

They sound like they're using Ultravoice :)

[crazywarriorman]

@SgtSavage166 Yes they are. Some are set on dual tone now.

[sirenlover100]

@SgtSavage166 I thought all EOWS's had Ultravoice

[SgtSavage166]

@sirenlover100 Most have the old 1980's analog controller. Those aren't Ultravoice. However, the new EOWS 612's you can buy today (they're special order, not in FS's catalog) are equipped with Ultravoice, the same controller that comes with the Modulator sirens.

Of course these 612's in Highland could have had analog controllers and were simply upgraded to Ultravoice at some point in their lives.

Mofucking Pyramid head silent hill! GAH

[howuseful]

The Sirens are by Mazzios, By the Water Tower, By Highland Community Church, Near Korte Meats, and I believe the last is near the VFW

[crazywarriorman]

They also have some Modulators in the new housing developments.

@howuseful There is also one at the end of Sunflower Dr.

[KSE828]

LMAO @ annoying as fuck.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Those are really scary sirens to listen to during a warning! How far away was the nearest siren you heard?

[crazywarriorman]

Maybe 200-300 feet?

[LouisEdmiston]

Sounds like the Whelen WPS 3016 in Western Aurora Colorado

[baseballplaya335]

@LouisEdmiston Its a E0WS 612

[zozey1231]

fuck, that's creepy

[murrfarms]

Damn, awesome! I have pictures of their sirens! I think the one you were close to is the one at the fire department on the other end of town, and the other one that wound down at the end was the one at the water tower and park on the south end of town.

[crazywarriorman]

This was the one close to the Holiday Inn. You think that was awesome. They get storms like this everyday.

[murrfarms]

Ah ok, sweet! Couldn't get my bearings straight since it was dark at the time you took this lol. And oh yeah, that's what Joe (FedSigHT1000) says too! He's over in Tinley Park.

[crazywarriorman]

Sweet. Did you see the mod also? There are a couple mods in Highland too.

[murrfarms]

Unfortunately we didn't. All we saw were the two EOWS-612s (one by Pizza Hut and the other behind the fire station by the water tower). Do you know about where any of the Mods are?

[thecompanycar]

Highland has at least 5 612s. One on each cardinal side of town, and one near the center of town. Where are the Mods installed?

[murrfarms]

Oh wow, didn't know they had that many 612s. Like I said, all we saw when we passed through Highland was the one by Mazzio's (north end one), and the one by the water tower behind the fire department (south end). I'll have to do some looking around to see if I can find the other 3.

[thecompanycar]

I have the 3 other locations if you're interested.
