The best thing you can do is to obtain an audio recording of the digital modes in order to identify it "by ear". But SDR-1000 has a wonderfull aid: the spectrum display. Once you have seen any digital signal in the panadapter, you know what it is and which mode you must select in MixW2 to receive it. I have some wav audio recordings of some modes. If you can receive big emails or have an ftp site, I´ll find it and send to you.
