FS Modulator 5020 | 30 Sec. Alert | Baytown, Texas

On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the city of Baytown conducted the weekly test of their outdoor warning system. The test consisted of about a 30 second alert. Andy and I decided to meet up at Bayland Park on my way to Deer Park to visit. This was my first single tone unit, and it was a lot quieter than I expected.
