Just a tip learned from building #1037.  Whenever powered up doing 
testing be sure to not have anything under the radio such as a screw or 
nut if you have the front cover on the bottom off.  Of course you have 
to have the back cover of the bottom on because of the LPA transistors.

The safest is to just put both bottom covers on when ever powering up so 
you don't accidentally short a trace.  This would of course be true 
anytime in the future.
