I was flying a rental 172 with a friend and on my way back to the home airport, the PTT button broke.
I tried to use the right seat's PTT and that was a no go too.
I was very impressed with ATC. I squaked 7600 and immediately
"airplane 10 mi east of the field - press ident if your radio is out"
"ident if your intention is to land"
Everything went smoothly. I landed and I let the flight school know about the problem..
It felt good to know that I can deal with a minor SNAFU.
