[Orion] Orion no Tx, no main Rx

[Richard Detweiler]

I'm Sensing from this thread that most of our firmware lockups are from RF 
getting into the radio.

I wonder if I were to open one of mine up and go through it with an eye 
towards sheilding and rf bypass on the inputs if I could reduce the 
instances this happens.

Best wishes,
