Hello, I have a little problem with the howler, but I don't know if it's normal.
I have the model attached in the photo with its speaker.
When I put a siren and activate the howler, no problem.
However, as soon as I change the siren, or turn off the siren to put it back on, the howler cuts out.
I tried to reset the amplifier, but still the same problem.
When I watch the videos, as long as they don't deactivate the howler, they still have it regardless of the siren tone. Is this normal or do I have a problem?
Thank you in advance.

I think those older style Howler amps require a siren tone to work.

The Core (CHOWLER) Howler amp will work without a siren tone.

That howler does rely on a siren tone, and it just duplicates that tone. They are also on a timer by default, and they need an input to be activated.
I do have a switch that activates the howler. But is it normal that when I switch from wail to yelp with the howler activated, it deactivates when I change the tone?

Look the video this is the problem
The video must not have uploaded. This all depends on how it was wired. The activation input will also cancel the howler. So if your howler is being activated automatically with siren tones, and it doesn’t only have a standalone button to activate and/or cancel, then changing tones is probably sending that activation wire a signal, canceling the howler tone.

So the wiring is ok
I turn on the siren = siren on
I turn on the howler = siren with howler on
I turn off the siren = siren and howler off
And now I turn on again the siren, the siren and howler are supposed to make sound again but = siren on, but howler off

Also, when I turn on Wail siren = siren on
I turn on the howler = siren with howler on
I switch to the yelp or piercer = siren on but the howler is off
I have to turn on again the howler when i switch on tone

I don’t know what to tell you. The default timer on the howler is 7.5 seconds. If you haven’t changed that, it will automatically turn off after 7.5 seconds. It seems really strange that it shuts off when you change tones. Unless you are coincidentally changing tones at 7.5 seconds.

Yeah I know for the 7,5seconds, the first thing I do is to put on factory preset the amp. I test, always the same. I put 30seconds, always the same. You can see and hear on the video, I just push the Airhorn, and this desactivate the howler, like the sirens tones...
