Yes, every morning at 8 am the base speakers play the national anthem (I live nearby so I know)

Most Cooper Waves/MadahCom sirens in Hawai’i have been upgraded with UltraVoice controls, with the exception of MCBH’s sirens & several older army Waves units.

@@oahusirens Interesting.

​​​@@oahusirensYou can record thoses madahcoms in MCBH?

@@Camporito25 Nope, although they really ought to install 8032B’s instead of 6024B’s. O’ahu does have a single 6032B installed at Koa Ridge.

Replaces an aging STH-10B

@@MahalohaEthan808 oh

It really depends on the base & military branch. JBPHH & NCTAMS is still on FSK, no Sat/Cell antennas on their Modulators & UV’d HPSA arrays. Red Hill/Shafter/Tripler seems to be on strictly Cell only as all their sirens have just a single cell antenna. Schofield/Wheeler/Helemano is also on Cellular, but their Mod’s also have a second antenna that’s similar size to the cell antenna. MCBH is a lost cause at this point, I’d be surprised if even half of their 13 HPSA’s are even still functional, plus they have no regular monthly testing schedule. The system of ATI’s at Bellows AFB is strictly radio, at least one of their ATI’s is functional according to the MP’s on post. So far I’ve seen no trace of Satellite activation on any military sirens. MCBH & a select few HPSA’s on Shafter, Wheeler & Schofield are the only HPSA’s that haven’t been UV’d and/or given upgraded Comms yet. Rumor has it that the Lualualei Annex on west side has a system as well, of what exactly I’m unsure of.

@@oahusirens Thanks for the detailed breakdown! I was really confused about what activation system each installation used when I started mapping them out in 2022. It sounds like there's quite a mix of activation methods in use on each installation and sounds kinda confusing. Do you think they will ever standardize each installation to just use satellite & cellular in the future? Also, I think Lualualei had a system of Fedelcode's as I remember seeing some shadows that resembled them on satellite view.

@@ParadiseSirens Standardizing their activation across all systems would be the best way to go. Unfortunately, each branch is going to do whatever is functional most cost effective for them. In my opinion, having all sirens use a common sat/cell system would reduce activation times & simply testing. As far as monthly testing goes, a majority of military sirens do sound @11:45 alongside HI-EMA’s system. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were multiple Fedelcodes back there, I’m sure bellows had more as well back in the day.

These DSA5’s are very uncommon. Most customers just opt for the DSA6. It shares the exact same housing as a DSA6, except the bottom horn location is blanked off with an aluminum plate.

@@oahusirensThere’s a white DSA 6x4 in Oahu but it’s mounted on Frank Fasi. Which replaced a thunderbolt. I’m guessing they did a DSA Instead of a 6024B cause there’s no space up there for a 6024B

Well the horn design on DSA’s is quite better at making UV tones louder than modulators

@@tornadof25Agreed. Having heard MANY Modulators & DSA’s in my lifetime, I can confirm that DSA’s slaughter Modulator’s in terms of distance & clarity. I grew up around Hawaii’s system with hundreds of MOD’s & DSA’s, the DSA’s always hit harder & the sound reaches further than the MOD’s due to their design.

its just preference, HI-EMA prefers their custom ordered green to make the sirens blend in and dual tone for them to be more effective, while WAEMA, PCEMA, and SPU all have their different preferences, them all having similarities, PCEMA and SPU both have mods with quads, while WAEMA chose beacons for the AHAB system, SPU also custom ordered the TDWS mods in 700HZ to match the old analog Whelen system their replacing.

btw the 6048 at the Chief Leschi Schools in Waller WA is actually the only confirmed dual tone mod in washington state

The dual or single tone is just a preference and the hawaii mods are green as a cosmetic purpose to make the sirens blend in with the trees and the normal modulator color is actually off white not pure white but it’s the normal color for mods

There is at least one dual tone Modulator in the Pierce County system. The siren can be easily programmed as single or dual tone depending on the customer’s preference. Personally I like the dual tone signals much better, they get your attention much better than single tone signals. In Hawaii, we have both single & dual tone sirens. However in the last decade, almost all electronic sirens in Hawaii have been programmed for dual tone. Since the cold war, Civil Defense has mandated that all CD warning signals be Dual Tone, & this rule has pretty much stuck around to the present day in Hawaii. As far as color goes, it really comes down to the customers preference. Alot of sirens in Hawaii are yellow to indicate their use as civil defense sirens. In recent years, sirens have been painted green to make them more aesthetically pleasing.

​@@oahusirensHow do you know know that there is a Dual-Tone Modulator in the Pierce County System? Where did you learn that?

@@Camporito25 ua-cam.com/video/iaovWBWza4A/v-deo.htmlsi=VOsbZRrRHjKZF4oG See for yourself…

@@oahusirens What's that?

I’ve been really wanting to record the extremely low mounted MOD-1004! We should meet up at that siren if you’re game. It was next on my list for the May test, but I gotta push it back till June due to my cousin’s wedding.

Not for testing, Alert & Attack are reserved for real emergencies.

@@oahusirens looks almost like the DSA at frank fasi bldg

For some reason, Pierce County doesn’t test their Modulators at full power. Even at less than 100 feet from the siren, hearing protection wasn’t needed.

Same at the solar charged 3012-B that was in carnation, that thing was loud but not enough for me to need to cover my ears at 94 feet away.

Voice was changed due to the original pre-recorded voice’s poor output. The new female voice recording is much louder & clearer.

​@@oahusirensCool! Why are the Federal Signal Modulators in Hawaii Dual-Tone, and why are the Federal Signal Modulators in Washington State Single-Tone? Why are the Federal Signal Modulator sirens in Hawaii green, and why are the Federal Signal Modulators in Washington State white?

Thankyou bro🤙

So about the solar panels. Those are temporary for the new 8032-B at the north end of Carnation and this 8032-B (The New locations). SPU recently updated the article for the system on March 4th and stated they are temporarily solar powered will soon be hooked up to the PSE grid

i dont think that exists because there a chance thats a mod

@@blurplemurple4960 it’s at that airfield. If I’m correct.

@@ZacharyHappy366 It was at the Pacific Missile Range and was replaced a few years back with a Modulator 3012B.

@@MahalohaEthan808 is it visible from google maps?

Thanks bro! Any chance Pierce County will be testing Attack during the October great shakeout?

@@oahusirensNot a chance! 😂 They’re too based for that.

Figured lol, guess I’ll be taking a road trip to Edmonds in October😂

​@@oahusirensGood for you!

@@oahusirens You wont have to wait much longer for that! just about two more weeks left till the 17th comes round.

More of a low gloss matte brown. Almost everything utility related is painted this brown color on Hickam Air Force Base.
