Is anyone with RF layout experience able to make a quick sanity check of
this board? It's a fox designed for 2m FM. Github repo is below and
contains gerbers and 3d exports in VRML and STEP. The original kicad files
are there as well. Target process is oshpark standard 2 layer 1.6mm fr4
with 1oz copper.

I forgot to mention, it's designed as a mezzanine for this ATtiny412 board
which is providing a digital signal to switch power to the RF on and off
and an analog signal to modulate the frequency tune pin.
