<br>
Not a good situation... if a radio somehow gets turned off because of a power fail<br>
condition. I think this could be fixed by having the COS be an active high.<br>
Hopefully the simpleusb can operate on an active high.<br>
<br>
As we are new to this stuff, it looks like it is good to play with the radios on<br>
the bench for a while...<br>
