Many of these modes haven't been used in years. Unfortunately when you buy a decoder like Hoka or Wavecom, you are paying not only for the modes that are active, but for the mostly out-of-date mode decoding as well. Rarely, some of these modes will come to life from time to time, probably to test a circuit, or to supplant a faulty satellite link.


This list can be used to eliminate possible modes used by a mystery signal, enabling one to move onto more productive possibilities.
