I would imagine (but I sometimes have an active imagination) that CVSD would
be quite easy to implement on any PIC with an A2D (depending of course on
desired audio bandwidth). For 5 kHz bandwidth (arguably better than an AM
radio station) a sampling rate of 10 kHz+ or 100 uS / sample is required.
Processing should be simple enough. Serial ROM access may be a bottleneck.
