smallest siren w/ radio rebroadcast capabilities
I am looking for suggestions on the smallest siren w/ radio rebroadcast capabilities. I have a troy console which is down to a 2 inch space and need to find something that will fit.
Any suggestions?

Fed Signal 650 Series Caution
Not knocking the Fed Signal 650 Series Siren/Light Bar Controller products but if you are going to use this product to control a light bar then do your research first. The light bar portion of this controller does not have a lot of current switching and handling capacity. If its going to be used for a newer type light bar that does not draw a lot of current then ok. But if it is going to be used to controll an older light bar ( vector, vision, streethawk, etc. ) please do the research on what amount of current is needed. If I recall correctly last time I installed one of these each switch was rated to supply 10amps each and on a lot of the older light bars that is totally insufficient. Never had that problem with any of the SVP line or any other controller products.....fineshot1

I had an idea regarding the low current output for the FedSig 650. If you need to control a light bar (or anything high amperage) hook up the 650 switch to a high amperage relay. I know it is kind of redundant, but it works. I have done this once and it works just fine. (well so far, 8 months)
Had an issue witht the "tone" button on the remote controller for the 650 also. Federal tech said that it was changed because everyone would rather have a siren kill switch instead of tone change.
I also agree with the relay option. Used it for years without any problem. Also helps keep the heavy wiring out of the console on non-remote type sirens/light control boxes.
