Not true. Stuck mic comes to mind quickly.


A stuck mic is not a situation where the radios have gone belly up, it's a
situation that illuminates a light on the panel and is soon rectified.



Squelch set too high would be second in mind.


I don't set the squelch too high.



Something could fry within the com unit....


....but wouldn't affect the other one.

What light? You have not seen my radios? There are no lights anywhere.

You don't yourself, but that's not to say it doesn't happen especially over
areas where you may be far from a transmitter.

a very real possibility. Otherwise, why would 7600 be an option on the
transponder? I have had to use the IDENT feature once when I had radio
problems. I could hear, but not transmit, so it does happen. I didn't
have to go 7600, since I was able to communicate via the IDENT button.

Are you serious? I don't think I've ever seen a tranceiver of any kind
(not just limited to aviation) which didn't have some sort of visual "Tx"
indication.

KX-170? ...for one example.

We're not talking about your panel, we're talking about mine. We got to
this point via your question to me; " If no EFC and radios go belly up while
in IMC, when would you know to leave the hold?"

So how does something frying in one com take out the other com but not the
navs or the transponder?

Not all airplanes, particularly trainers have a transmit
light.
