Effingham Fire Dispatch Changes

In the last few days, I've heard Effingham County dispatching fire calls over the 155.355 EMS repeater. Prior to that, I heard units 6601 and 4401 (Effingham and Rincon fire chiefs respectively) doing testing with Dispatch, with test pages being sent over the EMS repeater. It seems that they don't quite have things fully sorted out. The audio from dispatch is muffled and hard to understand, not only to the scanner listener but to the fire units as well.
