Does anyone know the frequency I am looking for?

[NopeNadda]

I am wondering if anyone knows the frequency I could listen to so that I may listen to the siren activation in Jewell county in Kansas. I go to Lovewell almost annually and sometimes get to hear the siren test happen, but I was wondering what frequency to listen to so I can hear the tones. they have whelen vortex sirens around the park and I have asked some people there, but they don't know what it is, so I was wondering if you people might have what I am looking for. I have the ems, fire, and sheriff radio frequencies programmed on my scanner, but I just wanted to know what the sirens use so I can listen to the activation tones while I am there. Happy Late New Years everybody.

What does the siren signal? Evacuation? A fire or EMS toneout? An approaching tornado?

Is the siren system activated via RF remotely, or perhaps through a wired connection, or even on a timer?

If there is a receiver, check for the FCC ID and then find the frequency using that.

There’s a chance the sirens are activated through DTMF on a known frequency.

While I find this intriguing, we need a heck of a lot more information to help you.

the sirens are sitting there and they are a whelen vortex siren. they alert for tests, tornado, attacks, dangerous and or hazardous chemical exposure, or major government announcements. all electronic sirens as such usually have multiple tones for alerting to different hazards.
here is a video of what they look/sound like

and the chance of dtmf is likely, but I highly doubt it because whelen sirens are activated with a central dispatch console or controler and it sends out different tones and or signals activating different alerts. here is an example video and some pictures of the various models.

Check out the poles or whatever the sirens are mounted on and look for antennas on the control/battery cabinet. That can probably tell you what band they are using.

Exact use depends on the local area.

that is the issue, they don't have wi-fi there, as well as I might be going in June/July. I could bring my uniden scanner for when they test. I don't know when and or if I will be there for the test. I also don't know if I could possibly get ahold of the actual dispatch center or the park rangers to see what they might know.

I am a siren collector/enthusiast and from where I live, the only sirens I get to hear is from about 5 miles away and my parents don't allow me to travel much if at all, and they wouldn't let me borrow the gator to go and see it, so I had to walk to see and hear it. I also don't have any electronic sirens within about a 100 mile radius or more around me to see or hear. I also have a friend whom brags and shows me pics and vids of the sirens he gets to see, and I wish I could also listen to tones for a whelen. vortex for once. I am not trying to get riled up or anything, but I just don't ever get these opportunities from where I live, and I also am not sure if I even am able to see siren tests anymore due to my work schedule either.

...Try asking the siren kiddies at the air raid siren site.....if nothing else Jewell county might yield you a tornado warning or two in June/July that you might might be able catch the freq. with.

I'll see what I can do.

This might not apply to your sirens, but our sirens for tornado in my town and county are toned out on our FD, EMS, EMA frequency, at least they were but I've not payed attention to that in a few years. It's similar to fire being paged out for a fire it's just a different tone. That's how ours are/was done to activate the sirens.

they are here as well. they are on the fire and EMS frequency. they get tested the first of each month starting form March, till September, and they get tested at 10:00 am
