Yes it was strange. I drove through there this morning and it was the same analog. I believe what I was hearing was DMR as I saw some flashes of color code and TS but the audio was spotty at best. I have 10el vhf aimed east.

The SDS100 beta radio is very sensitive and works great in this area. Just received FCC clearance so you should be seeing them soon.

Nothing has changed, so be patient for about 5 months:

Still testing

This is still a ways off. As Chris said above, there is apparently a control channel on the air.

Here are the minutes from this month's committee meeting:

I'm now hearing Middletown PD on the new system on talk group 101, P2 in the clear. I'm not picking up any radio IDs, maybe just a simulcast of 155.370 for now?
