"Simple," "SDR," and "DSP" do not belong together in the same
sentence. Anything you do with that kind of hardware is going to be
inherently complex. Be prepared to write a lot of code.

Almost by definition the hardware is simple. And experimentation in
software is a lot easier and less painful than hardware experimentation.
But you are correct that there will probably be quite a bit of code,
although not all of it needs to be written from scratch.

If you graze the Microchip dsPIC forum, a British ham talked about such a
project a few months ago, sorry I can't recall his name. I think he may
have posted some stuff on the PIClist, too. He did use some sort of codec,
along with the dsPIC. I picked up the codec and dsPIC with the intent to go
down that path, but those round tuit thingies are hard to come by around
here.
