SWS alert

Has anyone ever gotten one of these? I've conceded that I will never see one in TN, but was wondering if ANYBODY ever will.

The Plano ambulances and firetrucks have SWS systems on them. It was about the only thing my old Cobra was useful for. Even then it still had terrible range.

I have only gotten 1 SWS alert in the time I have had the STI. It was from a road construction vehicle in Illinois. Alert was Road construction ahead or something like that.

I pretty much only care because I like the sound it makes, and wish I could hear it more often than just startup.

I got one about 10-15 years ago on the south side of Chicago, when an ambulance went by on the other side of the interstate. "Emergency vehicle ahead," I think it was. That's the only one I've ever gotten.
