In case comments appended at the end of yesterday's kitting update were
missed, I
repeat them here in the clear, including the direct link.

If you caught my mention about "experimentation" with the
SoftRock-40 Kit, you should take a look at the "future applications" link on
the
SoftRock-40 web page ... http://www.amqrp.org/kits/softrock40/futures.html
You'll see some experimentation going on for
integrating the SoftRock with the Micro908 and a "dual DDS". The DDS driver
of the Micro908 allows it to control the dual-DDS board coming soon from
KK7P that generates the individually- and precisely-controlled clocks to
generate the I and Q audio signals representing the received signal. Now,
connect those two audio streams into the DSPx Daughtercard contained within
the Micro908, add the appropriate demodulation software, and we'll have a
standalone, portable Software Defined Radio ... no PC required!
Pretty cool for that little Micro908 platform, eh? This "SoftRock-908" SDR
radio
is one of the main applications for which the Micro908 was specifically
targeted
back when designed and introduced last year. And it all keeps on getting
better
and better! :-)
