Keep in mind that SA, while a really good tool, does not do auto identification of a signal. It does do some automatic measurements, to let you know some of the signal characteristics of whatever you are looking at, but it does not tell you, for example, that a signal is STANAG 4285, HF+DVL, Chinese 4+4, etc.
If you want the kind of software that you can just pump audio into and the software tells you what type of modem you are hearing, then the high price options, Hoka Code 300, Krypto500, Go2Monitor, Wavecom, etc, are the only real options.
For ham modes fldigi can automatically ID a signal if the transmission is accompanied by an RSID (Reed-Solomon ID). This is not the software recognizing the mode transmitted, but rather it is decoding and reacting to the RSID that can be transmitted with the mode.
There are other tools you can use to get many of the signal characteristics, but few that are automated in any way. Simple, and often free, programs like Audacity, Spectrum Lab, and Spectrogram have the ability to measure things and display things in ways that assist identification. Once you have a few identifying features you can ID the signal with high confidence, even if you cannot decode the data in it.
Some signals are quite easy and distinctive to identify, others not so much. It really is not all that hard to get the basics down, and to be able to ID most signals found. I wonder why no one has put up a "how to" page on the web, with basic guidance of key and identifying features to look for, as well as techniques to find those features? The HFU Signals Identification page (
Signal Identification - HF Underground ) does attempt to give key features for a signal as well as pictures, to assist in identification. But that page is not very complete yet. The original goal was to fill it in as people posed mystery signals to the associated forum, but few questions have been asked in the past year, so the page is pretty meager.
