That's to run the emergency warning (Tornado) sirens. They are triggered by RF remote control. It is surprising that they are using a 4.9 GHz signal to control them. I hope it is more reliable than the 800 MHz system that has been known go down in severe storms.

Yes, MECA has been known to go down during severe weather. Hoopefully the new system will be better!

Don't confuse the radio system and the tornado warning system. They are controlled differently. The sirens that have had trouble are two-tone VHF secquential not part of the 800mhz system.

I think GTO_04 was refering to the actual MECA Public Safety system being known to go off line during severe weather as well.

So far I have seen one new Federal Signal Sirens up behind IFD 26 at Hanna and Shelby. I have yet to hear it. I should tomorrow if they test them that's assuming the weather isn't bad that they won't test them.
