I think he was asking what would kill your comm and transponder but not your nav.
likelihood is that it would be a whole electrical system failure, in which case you'd have to depend on your handheld electronics. You do have spare batteries for them when you fly, don't you? If I did for some reason run short on spare batteries, I can tell you that the GPS would take priority over the handheld comm. Besides, my GPS only uses 4 AA's where my handheld comm uses 10.

An electrical failure will affect all of your installed avionics, not just the transceivers and transponder. What additional installed avionics do most of us have? Other than the audio panel, everything connected to my electrical system is a light (well except for pitot heat). -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.
