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.
