Yup. ?But not just too badly.
Nothing about the Bitx40 is very expensive.
Compared to pretty much any other SSB transceiver.
The function button is tied directly to a 5v max IO pin on the ATmega382p processor on the Raduino.
You likely blew out the processor chip.
Easiest thing is to buy a new Raduino, $25 from hfsigs.com
Or you could buy a new Arduino Nano for under $5 off the web, but the Nano is
soldered down to the Raduino board with 30 pins. ?
Wouldn't be trivial to swap out, but possible.
Possible that the short damaged something beyond the ATmega328p
(such as the si5351 on the Raduino) but I tend to doubt that.
I think your main Bitx40 board is fine.
You might consider using with the analog VFO on the Bitx40 while waiting for the postman.
Would require adding L5 and wiring the 10k tuning pot to the analog VFO.
It is kind of unstable though, will drift some during a QSO.
