What would you do if your radio failed?
I was doing a bit of revision, and realised that apart from the following, I'm not sure what to do if my radio failed. I'll take it up with my instructor next time, but in the meantime, I'd...
1) Check the frequency
2) Check it was still switched on.
3) Check that the squelch wasn't up/down too much
4) Check the headset leads hadn't been pulled out.
5) Check the fuses.
6) Squawk 7600
Having done this on approaching the airfield I would call them at the appropriate reporting points (state that I was calling 'blind'), and enter the circuit whilst keeping a good lookout.
Have I missed something?
What would you do?

PS - I must make a note of what the light-gun signals are, coz I admit I don't know them, do you?
