If you're talking about amateur signals, then the advice given in
response to your question is good.

If you're talking about digital signals in general, well, there is
some expensive SWL stuff like Hoka and Skysweeper.  There used to be some 
modems such as the Universal Radio M-7000; and you can find those on ebay 
sometimes.

[digitalradio] Re: Best software to use MFJ 1278

[Dave Bernstein]

Actually, running an external RTTY modem in combination with 
soundcard RTTY (via the MMTTY engine) is quite powerful: you get 
panoramic reception and click-to-tune with the ability to decode two 
signals simultaneously -- which can either be used to more quickly 
break RTTY DX pileups, or for diversity decoding of the same signal.

As Andy K3UK pointed out, WinWarbler supports this combination; its 
free, and available via www.dxlabsuite.com .

So don't throw those RTTY modems away!
