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

Digital?

Most of what we call "digital" is NFM or SNFM.

Actually "Digital" is C4FM.

And the modulation on the carrier is??? AM? PM?? FM??

What bandwidth is it?

There's a difference between the process of putting information on the
carrier and the format that information comes in. The OP was asking
about the physical layer, as specified by "AM/FM ..." etc..

The standard is APCO 25, which defines BW to be 6Khz and Modulation as
C4FM.

TV.

BTW, "normal" scanners don't "decode" sideband or CW.

If you want to see other "modes", just look at the modulation
definitions at the FCC. Do you consider "speed radar" to be a mode?
How about radiolocation services?

My winradio, running in the background as I type this, has:
AM/AMN/AMS/LSB/USB/CW/DSB/ISB/FM3/FM6/FMN
then there are all the digital data, and voice modes.

ISB, DSB ?

DRM?

Any receiver that will receive SSB will also receive DSB, since both
sidebands are the same. ISB too, but only 1 at a time.
