Hi Craig -
I use the Peg for most of the common digital modes also.
MixW is very popular and has most/all the modes you mention. I also like
using Digipan for the multi-thread PSK QSO monitoring feature.
I like to start with a wide filter of 2.5 to 3 kc to monitor the activity -
then sort of roll up next to the signal of interest with the passband tuning
and then narrow the BW down to 300 Hz. That is usually pretty effective.
I have only heard and worked Hellscreiber on 80 meters, but that is only my
experience.
