there has to be some other modes that normal scanners wouldn't decode.
any thoughts?

ISB, DSB ?

Any receiver that will receive SSB will also receive DSB, since both
sidebands are the same. ISB too, but only 1 at a time.
Only if the IF is narrow enough to keep the other sideband out,
otherwise you get both at once.....

A SSB receiver is one that has a bandwidth narrow enough to receive
only 1 sideband. If it's 6 KHz wide it's a DSB receiver. (Yes,
almost any ham receiver is either SSB or DSB, depending on the filter
you have running at the moment.)

Of course finding DSBSC signals on the air today is a bit difficult.
(They used to be much more prevalent, but ARC5s are expensive antiques
today, not cheap transmitters. And is there still 1 operational
DSB-100?)
