That would be great.  Please put it on the wiki: http://comsec.com/wiki
and then post a note about it to the list.

Take a look at the coding conventions in gnuradio-core/README.hacking
When in doubt, have it look like the existing code. 

Also, as part of our agreement with the Free Software Foundation as an
official GNU Project, the copyright must be assigned to FSF.  Why they
want this is so that if there's ever a legal challenge, there's only a
single plaintiff or defendent on our side.  I'll send you additional
information in the next message.

That's great.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with!  Don't
hesitate to ask questions.  The first thing you can try if you haven't
already, is to decode the FM audio channel.

What front end are you using with the 4020?
