They are generally set up in the same fashion as ones in cities, towns, etc. They have them for the voice capabilities, which is why you see nothing but electronics for the most part. Ft. Benning, GA has a Whelen System to somewhat match with the one in Columbus, GA. They've been having good luck with their Whelen system. Electronic sirens don't fail as much as you think. Ft. Benning used 2001's and a couple of Modulator 2008's prior to the Whelen system. I think that the Whelen system there is in better shape as the old Federal system too, considering how long the 2001's have been pointing in the same direction. I remember one in particular that is pointed the same way as it did back in 2007.Badger 12 wrote:Hmm interesting, seems like they wouldn't want to go with electronic sirens since they seem to fail a lot. Anyone have any pictures or anything like that they could use as examples. I just want to know where they are usually put in Military bases.
Indiantown Gap has a bunch of mid-sized Mods (3012s as I recall) floating around, along with an old abandoned STL-10 at a former FD station. Knox has large ATI/E-Class type sirens from what I can see on satellite imagery. Dix appears to have solar Modulators.Badger 12 wrote:Just curious, anyone have any ideas what the following forts use? Fort Indiantown Gap-Pennsylvania, Fort Knox-Kentucky, or Fort Dix-New Jeresy
