I think that adding a fast, complex, sampler capable of doing many
megasamples, with
DMA support, etc, would be a worthy goal. A little anti-alias
filtering and some
digitally-controllable gain (70dB or more) in front of the samplers,
and you have
yourself a nice little HF receiver. I wonder if you could suck the
entire 30Mhz
of HF spectrum into the Geode in one gulp if there's adequate DMA
support, etc?
If not, you'd probably like some hardware-based DDCs and decimators, etc.
