Do the Whelens get their voice audio from the radio or is it stored into memory in the controller? Because it sounds like someone is interfering with it on the RF side,. The groan I hear reminds me when two ham operators are trying to transmit into a repeater at a time, usually referred as doubling, it usually makes that distinct demonic groaning.
Whelens can broadcast both pre-recorded voice messages stored on a board and live audio from the radio via the PA command over the two way radio. Turkey Point appears to, for some reason, use the PA command to play a pre-recorded voice message off of something such as a computer or something to that effect.
The sound in the background of the voice kinda reminds me of the old MSN Messenger "incoming message" sound. These sirens are run by old school people who forgot to turn off their MSN before testing. They kept getting messages during the voice.
i think the reason why they are (or they were) still using a windows 9x computer was for security reasons for it to prevent hijackings because since nobody uses windows 9x anymore and that was like more than 20 years ago making their specs less known to hackers. im not entirely sure if thats why they left it like that i just know some airports did the same thing using windows 3.1 computers.
There used to be an older video of the sirens in this area where one was near a racetrack and it was picking up interference from the transponders in the racecars and made some horrible noises. I think the video has since been removed, but it made similar demonic noises to this.
Ah yes, that video was uploaded by videogamer24385. I don't think the race cars had anything to do with it though, I think it was just the bad equipment. Sirens are activated via VHF or UHF two way radio, and those race car radios you mentioned are comparable to tiny cb frequency radios, thousands of megahertz below what these would activate on, therefore those wouldn't even cross paths with these.
The voice is using the PA function and they have the TX frequency for the 2 way system the same as the RX frequency causing the horrible screeching and they have the E-2010 encoder attached to an OLD error filled computer causing the “windows 95 notify sound”
that's the alarm to tell everyone that we are dying inside! edit: ooooooOoooOooOooOOooOoOOOooOoooOoOooOoOOoOOOOOoOoooOEEEeeEOOooOoooOOOOIeEeeEeeEeEaeeEeeaeeeaeeaeeEeooooOOOoOOOOO
Sounds like a software issue in my opinion. maybe controller and software issue together? definitely sounds like a software glitch of the message getting corrupted on the controller. maybe even a error with the tones getting to the siren's decoder causing the glitches.
Lyrics: 2:37 English: A test of the turkey point warning siren, will begin shortly. This is only a test. Spanish: En breve comenzará una prueba de la sirena de advertencia de Turkey Point. Esto es solo una prueba.
@@ethearnos6397 Yes most sirens do, all sirens using a radio, normally are activated via a program on the computer. The program is the one to send the signals to activate the siren.
