I have some schematic comments

Critical :

1)
Try to avoid connecting input pins of the CPU to Vdd. This is bad !

IE PTT, SELECT, BACK (SW1,2,4)

A latch up condition would mean destruction of the chip.

If there needs to be input pins tied to Vdd, tie them through a low 
value resistor, like 470 ohms . NOT direct to supply.

Improvements :

2) A stubber should be present on the switched mode supplu switching 
node. This will substantially reduce the ringing rubbish
Jn C27/L2

3) A 2 ohm resistor in series with C26 will also reduce radiated rubbish


4) A ceramic cap (X7R, X5R, X7S) would be a MUCH better choice for C25, 
C29, C28  in the power supply.
Tantalums will under perform here . Eliminate C1.

A bulk electrolytic may be a good choice on the input to reduce ringing  
and reduce Q of the equiv circuit. Put there where C1 was.


5) The 100uH inductor is a loaded gun....it may kick 2x or more voltage 
into the switched mode chip at power up- suggest the electrolytic be 
across C1, and/or a zener to clamp to spike


comments

4) VREF+ may have too high a value resistor (R10) - successive ADC 
operations will deplete the reference stored in the C10 cap and generate 
errors. IE the first conversion is good, but subsequent conversions  
will show a higher conversion because The VREF+  will sag.
This may not be a problem in this application- but it is if you are 
trying accurately to measure say a battery voltage.

5) Rather than the half rail supply splitting resistors everywhere for 
the op amp Vhalf-rail (VHR) , why not drop a opamp down and provide this 
voltage. this would eliminate 2 large  capacitors and 2 resistors.
