The Siren Board

Monthly test of this green Modulator 3012, located at Fort Ruger Park in Kahala. It uses MC controls, and runs strictly on solar power. A Modulator 3024H-UV is barely audible after the 3012 winds down.

A 3024?
Is that just half of a 6048 or something?

The 3024 has the same cell count as the 3012, but with eight drivers per cell. It was an option sold by Federal.

I did not know it was an official thing

Someone needs to record that sometime

There are multiple video’s of MOD-3024H’s on youtube, all of which are located in Hawai’i. Randall Noguchi has quite a few video’s of them in action. The 3024H’s sound identical to any other MOD, with an output more comparable to a 6024 vs a 3012. Below are several of Randall’s video’s of 3024H’s in action. Most 3024H’s on O’ahu are labeled “3012” in videos for simplicity sake.

Kamiloiki is a 3012. There's no tag on the head so it's an older unit.

I've always guessed the 3024-H (-H presumably standing for "Hawaii") was a means to save on freight to ship a louder siren in a smaller package with a (slight?) hit to output. Shipping anything to Hawaii is expensive and its not just weight that matters, size does too. And Mods are enormous. So it makes a lot of sense.

You are right, That second video was supposed to be of the Kuliouou 3024H. I’ll edit the original post.
