As of July 15, 2017 the beach patrol has switched from their VHF system to a single talkgroup on the EDACS system, talkgroup 677, analog. Per an OCBP official, this is a permanent move. He explained they have more of the EDACS radios available than the ht750 and 1250s.
Overall, the coverage is much better than the single site VHF system. But the radios are much heavier. There have been complaints that the output volume level is much lower than the Motorola system.
I am speculating they had access to many of the radios that were removed from service by other users that recently left the ATL county EDACS network.
