I hadn't thought of trying a high-speed VHF/UHF modem :) Maybe that's because I live away from what most people call civilization and there aren't many VHF/UHF signals around here. I'd figured on using a CPU personality for overall control, and doing the work in hardware. Is the Spartan-3E

Paul you just hit the nail right square on the head. I have said just that for years. Don't say that to long and loud. The anti-wide pople will come and get you. John At 08:27 AM 8/3/2008 -0400, you wrote in part: Sound card modes, of course, have gained popularity due to their flexibility

I've been thinking about getting an FPGA board to play with and see what it will do as far as hosting an HF modem, or at least the A/D and DSP portions of one. The board I'm considering has a Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA and all of the peripheral hardware (A/D, D/A, VGA, ethernet, serial, etc.) one
