Thanks everyone. I'll send another radio over there to be replaced. I was afraid it would likely be something physical (short, water in the cable, bad radio, etc), though I was hoping that there was possibly something logical that could be the cause.
Josh, I can disable the reset switch...I'd not thought about doing that. It's plugged into a Netonix as I mentioned, so I can reset it from there (which I'm having to do anyhow when it locks up). I'll give that a try and see if it helps until I can get a crew to put up a replacement. I'll let you know the outcome.
