Set commander up to send out an extra DTMF string in addition to the existing activation protocol and I'll throw a radio in with the sirens, that way you don't have to deal with the DCFC.

I actually heard back from Knox Township today and heard they paid $3600 a siren to C&K Early Warning Systems for their new Sentry’s...that’s something that I’d propose to the Village as not only is Sentry probably the best manufacturer in the industry at the moment (in my personal opinion anyways), but their prices are also extremely reasonable and their sirens are quality built and built to last. The trustee also said:

“Once more my hats are off to you, and any others who had such a bold plan to keep so many safe, and I do hope somewhere down the road you will formulate a plan to assist the program now in place in Richfield. Never be afraid to look outside the box as I feel you have done, but always keep close to your roots, and always look at the financial events that may surround the avenue you wish to travel. Best of Luck!!”

I know a Village Councilmember who goes to my church, so I might grab him at a free moment and explain to him our plan and I’ll mention C&K/Sentry Siren if I can catch him at a free moment.

Another option would be to put an older 2001 up as well; either of those two options would probably be the most cost effective and get the most out of our money at this point.

As a Sentry Dealer, I can tell you right now that that is not what they paid per siren try a couple grand more.

Not sure, that price is probably what they paid per site after getting Ohio EMA grants

I mean this might sound odd, but you could try and buy the remains of the allertors from the city if they are still there and get a new shroud has the stators still look intact.

Can't do that; they already said they can't sell the sirens to anyone; refer to the message from the trustee.

Ok, then I'd recomend trying to get your hands on the DC thats inactive, and go down to west shore services and see about getting sirens and controls from there.

The allertors work fine, why replace them?

I'm curious how you two were going to provide financial assistance for the sirens if you had got them from Knox Twp. Reason being is that for $3600 you can purchase a new 5 hp siren 100% maintenance free, with a three year warranty from C and K sirens. When we had to rebuild one of those Allertor 125.s we spent over $7000 just for the motor. And that is why we continued to find grant money to support the birth of new sirens. I feel that your plan is very bold, and acknowledge your persistence to the safety of your community, my hats off to that, but realistically I think you should take a step back, and try to get as much bang for your buck when it comes to refurbished vs new. I'm no professional in the siren business, but we have made our share of failures in the process, and unfortunately that is how you learn
