I did an earlier prototype version of the SoftRock and paired it up with a 
NJ QRP DDS  board, an Atmel Butterfly and KD1JV's code for the butterfly to 
get a variable local oscillator on the Soft Rock.  Worked quite 
well.   More info can be found at: 
http://ewjt.com/kd5tfd/sdr1k-notebook/sr40/index.html   The version of the 
board I've got on the web site does not match the current board Tony's 
distributing -- this was an earlier version of the board.

I'm not sure on the current boards, but the original one I did the detector 
response was wide enough one could run it with a 96 khz sampling sound card 
without difficulty.    I don't know if Tony's tightened up the detector 
pass band in the most recent version, sort of suspect he didn't.  The 
intent of the board was to come up an inexpensive piece of hardware that 
would allow people to see the benefits of SDR  and one of the things we 
wanted to do with it was used it with 96 and 192 khz sampling 
cards.  .  I've used it with a modified version of PowerSDR from Flex Radio 
and also with SDRadio -- works well with both.
