That's a very nice T-135 picture! Thanks for sharing that.

This is silly. You guys are arguing based purely on assumptions and prejudice. Perhaps someone should ask them, or find out if the power of US patents even extends outside the country.

I vote yes, for the cool factor 8) I loved the sound of our indoor model A's winding up for fire drills in elementary school, so I imagine how cool it would be with a real air raid siren! Seriously, as far as coverage goes, I believe that a siren should be in close proximity to a school, if not on i...

If you can get a good recording of multiple sirens, I'd like to hear it. My second vote would be for the 3/2T22.
