Steve, I've run that idea by a few Arduino guys including AD7C himself. They 
say yes, you can use one of the analog pins and you can "map" the 0-5VDC to 
say, an offset of +/- 1000 Hz but they say it's not smooth enough to use as 
RIT. I would like to try but I don't know enough about writing the code to add 
that function.

Regarding your PIC controller, I have a PIC ordered so I can copy your circuit. 
I'd rather use an AVR since I have some and also a programmer. Is there any way 
you could port your PIC code to an AVR, or would you be willing to release your 
source code so I can try to do it?
