A siren test every morning? What a great idea. I think I'll test my car horn and shotgun every morning when I get up.

We had one law enforcement officer that checked his shotgun while it was mounted in the shotgun lock, which was attached to the dash. I think his ears are still ringing from the explosion of the shotgun going off and the resulting hole in the roof. Try to explain that to the Captain when you have to see the review board. The officer then had to train the rest of the officers about the safe way to check your shotgun. Double OO buck shot I am not sure how they patched the hole in the roof.

And the way things are going in the world these days, I'll bet even money that he made law enforcement officer of the year !

Didn't Motorola have a rubber plug for that? I recall it was quite a bit larger than the NMO hole plug.

Yes, the one for the low band antenna mount. That would probably worked great.

Then the car would be too easy to spot! The only one with the antenna on the roof near the windshield The rest were mounted on the trunks. It would be easy to locate in the parking lot though. Maybe even add a flag to it???

[Repeater-Builder] Today's funny two-way radio story (March 09). The Siren - PA Speaker War
Re: Today's funny two-way radio story (March 09). The Siren - PA Speaker War Today's very funny story was told to me by a friend after my seeing the evidence in a shop. A service call to fix the Siren on a Public Safety Vehicle with reported problematic volume level. Most radio type service people have a test method or routine to find the failed speaker, pa amplifier, broken wire or blown fuse. Lots of output voltage to the vehicle front mounted speaker, the type of which are sometimes problematic from weather/water damage. Off to the front bumper... Can't seem to get the speaker cone off... normally a tight but not a frozen screw-on fit. Out come the serious tools to break the speaker cone free. So... after a lot of work the cone comes off and there's a permanent thread locking glue on the cone threads. Hummm...? Wait! there's foam and a rubber plug inside the cone..? Someone wanted to reduce the speaker output level and lock it in place? Care to guess what's going on..? Well Sailors... A bit of detective work to figure out the owner of the vehicle has/had a habit of testing his full volume PA Siren functions very early every morning, while pulling out of his house/drive way. One of his nearby neighbors didn't appreciate the everyday wake up call and finally did the foam/rubber plug muffle trick and mounting thread lock to the bumper mounted siren speaker cone. Life goes on... Epilog: I/we do use the rubber plug and foam trick to reduce PA - Siren Volume levels while testing equipment. Helps on hearing and annoyance levels. Your results will probably vary... cheers, s.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Today's funny two-way radio story (March 09).The Siren - PA Speaker War
Interesting story. I work as a patrol deputy for the local sheriff's office and we normally test the lights and siren before going on patrol (won't give us take home vehicles). Our parking area is below the building and a few months ago we got word from the Sheriff that the testing of the sirens must be done away from the office. Seems the sound was getting to the administration area of the building and we were disturbing their afternoon nap LOL.
