I think I got the first one because it has a little analog clock tacked on one side. I went to go look why it didn't work, and for some reason it just made me giggle to see it's quite literally a little wristwatch module in there. The first one, the little clock was sorta "blown apart" inside....but the second one appears to just be dead, and I haven't looked why (likely has it's own battery that is dead).
Both those Jeep sets failed their vertical within like a month of eachother, and with no symptom. One minute they were fine (but really crappy) sets, and then suddenly noticed the bright horizontal line. No "collapsing", snap...or anything.
They are REALLY terrible sets even when working though. Lots of IF noise...and both have another buzz from some other thing that you could not get rid of with the volume. I literally have them next to doorways for actual emergencies as intended. Some rainy day will have me open one of them up to see what happened the vertical. Both mine are identical...and I think do also have sirens and the mosquito thing. I got them because they were weird...and because of the funny VERY small analog clock.
