Finally after a "dry" period from lots of other spending I got my MFJ-971 tuner/SWRmeter. Now about to assemble everything with cable, adapters, twisted Hille antenna, reading around. Basically my first standalone baby steps away from just listening.

I don't understand how to know which #hamradio digimode to choose when I hear into something with #fldigi.

Is there an overview how they sound where I could look them up by sample noise? Does fldigi have some magic auto-detection trick I haven't found?

The only digimode I ever managed to receive is RTTY from German Weather Service where I know in advance what it is.

Thanks to any hints.

Ich hatte es wirklich schon vergessen:

First experiment with a Twisted Hille #antenna . As promised I hear a lot more on 40m, unfortunately not on 80m where I could actually work. Then again, I rarely hear something on 80m at all, will keep trying.

#introduction
I am a German novice #hamradio beginner with a license and a #yaesu FT-818, but no experience.

Without a big antenna I am mostly interested in mobile and low-power operation which made me try first steps with digi modes with #fldigi - but beyond receiving German Weather Service over RTTY I don't have much success yet.

Only using Linux tools. Happy about any tool recommendations.

Mostly radio listening as I don't have interesting things to say yet.

German or English.
