Do they now use ASC Compulert? Or Federal FC controllers?
What controls did they use in the past?

I would imagine something with HOR at first, then Federal, then something ASC.

I used to know one of the siren techs that worked on several of the Wood County sirens in the 1970s. He said, they used Federal Siratrol units on 153.890 MHz. However, a few of the departments had Plectron siren controllers as well, which were designed to compete with the Siratrol.

What sirens did BG have before the Thunderbolts & 3t22?

Sadly, he never specified which community had what controllers. However, he also worked on the Plectron siren decoders in Hancock and Putnam Counties as well. Apparently, many counties in Ohio were big on Plectron products in the 1970s and 1980s.
