Well assuming that you drove up on the accident, then your equipment
is still running. But if you were involved in the accident and your mic
is broken but you know the code, you could simply use the ptt wires by
touching the bare wires together. dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit.
No soldering needed! Got a pocket knife? Yes I can send code with just
two bare wires. BTW this can be done whether it's an airplane, boat,
car or just about any broken slop bucket rig...
