Signal has gone to crap!

I bought my Evo on launch day, I've been running Fresh ROM with the newest radio for about a week now. I have NEVER had a problem with reception, nor dropped a call since I've had the device.

Beginning last night when I came home, I have ZERO signal in my house or around my neighborhood! It's like I'm in a Sprint black hole. It doesn't come and go, I simply have had ZERO network communication for a day and a half. When I leave my neighborhood, I get my usual blistering 3 and 4g speeds.

I updated the PRL and looked through some of the other settings... Nothing major has changed on the phone in the last day. Any ideas what could have happened?
 
Okay, I did a hard reset with the Fresh Rom still on the phone. I made a phone call to my wife during the initial boot after the reset, and got through. Once the phone COMPLETED booting and ran at normal speed, I had no network like before.

I then flashed back to the STOCK ROM. No root, no Fresh, factory everything. Same deal, I could make a call during the initial boot, but once it completes booting my network connection is non-functioning.

Most likely it's a cheap communications chip used by HTC.
