Fun Cube Dongle Pro internals

Hi! For those interested, I've taken apart the case and did some investigation how the FCDP hardware architecture looks like. The results are available at http://tetra.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Funcube_Dongle It seems the silicon tuner actually is intended for DVB-T, thus the bandwidth it can down-convert is _much_ higher. However, the audio codec that they use can only do 96kHz. That's actually really sad. I wish they had used something with higher ADC rate. But it seems like even high-end audio codecs never get you beyond 196/216 kHz - still insufficient for e.g. GSM.
