TBH, considering B&C really only deals with Motorola branded radio equipment and such, I don't think anyone including me knows what brand they are affiliated with. So as archangel_cpj and whelenws2020 said, they must be a Whelen dealer, which helps everyone know.
I've also found this interesting segment of a frustrated house owner who will receive a installation literally right in front of their yard, and chances are it the location will stay the same:

That same video also shows a Model 5, presumably from North Lawrence.
Oh okay, make since. I can't see the video. My internet service has taken a dump on me and is bare;y moving out. :problem:

"It's so loud!" I can guarantee they will be thanking their lucky stars the siren was there when a tornado rolls through their yard at 2am.

Given that any locations will reside withing city limits, not sure. However, there are two that will be fairly close by. They did end up selecting the lowest bid, but now because they are just waiting on poles for next week, they might be installing some very soon and I can stop by. Either way all proposed locations are approximately 2 miles from each other, so until anyone sees them when they put them up, not sure yet.
If I recall correctly from the video, they didn't want to leave anyone out of warning so I guess they all overlap as well.

You're joking, right?
You can't just go to The Home Depot and buy a Whelen 2910 stock with a 75 foot pole with autodigging and waterproofing functionality with a government issued credit card.
From bid to manufacture to delivery to installation, these things take time!
Also, what's with the all caps asking if anyone knows about a particular towns upgrade?

I must second this. I live just south of Hamilton County, whom is currently upgrading their WHOLE system (covering the whole 413 sq. miles of the county) to T-128's and 2 E-Classes. The area we are talking about in this thread is 581 sq miles. Hamilton County has been replacing their sirens since, what? 2012? Maybe even 2011? They still have a while to to go, they are maybe 3/5's done. Like uncommonsense said these things take tame. And patience is a virtue.
(It's late XD)

Went by the Forty Corners Street location earlier and saw a new shiny Vortex. So their system must comprise of five Vortexes. Should be interesting to hear it in the distance during a Tornado Warning with Massillon's sirens (that is, if the sound carries good at the moment).
Also from reading from an agenda/packet regarding sirens (which can be found here:
http://cityofcanalfulton-oh.gov/wp-cont ... Packet.pdf)
The Parties will activate the sirens under the following circumstances:
Severe weather is expected or observed with a storm producing golf-ball sized hail or winds greater than 70 mph.
Upon receipt of a severe weather alert (Severe Thunderstorm Warning) from the National Weather Service, or other official source, indication that Canal Fulton/Lawrence Township is in the path of severe weather, including a flash flood warning.
If at anytime the National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Warning for Canal Fulton, Lawrence Township, or any surrounding territory within a 10 mile radius of Canal Fulton or Lawrence Township.
