I have had three lock-ups with mine as well. Not until I installed the FGPS-1 and Voice chip. I was beaconing while it did it. Just wondering the circumstances for you. Maybe we can pinpoint what is going on.
Mine was beaconing both times, but I don't believe it actually crashed during a transmission. I have both the GPS and voice synthesizer installed in this unit.
