I think you'd have to be extremely clever to do it in a rover, but it's possible to upload and download _small_ data files (<100kb) like .jpgs via GO-32. This would need to be a BIG rover just to handle the comm gear to do this. Think Spirit or Opportunity vs. Pathfinder. You'd need a very good set of circular omni antennas for 2m and 70cm, a hot preamp for 70cm, and probably some muscle on the uplink on 2m.
