I get that. But the actual hardware driving this conversation isn't particularly relevant,, and devolving to a hardware bikeshed isn't helpful.

First I need to prove it can be done with the usual suspects (GNU radio, on the Pi -- the native fft libraries seem fast enought to make this viable). If the pessimized case works, then porting the code from the GNU radio python modules to C is a mechanical process for the most part. This week I am ENOTIME with getting the boat tarped up in preparation for the winter monsoon season :-P. --lyndon
