Stuck Mike

There are times when transmitting "you got a stuck mic" works, as
odd as it may seem. if I'm near the airport, I have both radios
tuned to the same freq

Wouldn't you be blasting the receiving radio with overwhelming power
from the transmitting radio?

It seems like this would eliminate any chance of you hearing anyone
else, in the case of a stuck mike.

Let's see, you know that the guy is transmitting on one frequency,
but what about his second box?

If he's using it to monitor another frequency then, with a spot of
educated trial-and-error, you may be able to get through to him.

Does the side-tone of the transmitter not take over his intercom?

I thought that it does and that all he gets in his headphones is his own
mic, no matter what else is "on"??

Possibly; but it's not as fundamental a problem as trying to use one
radio both ways simultaneously.

I suppose every audio panel is different but if I am monitoring a second
radio on my KMA-24 I will hear any transmissions on that radio even
though I am transmitting on my selected radio.
