My RV-6 contains a Garmin GNC 420 and a King KY 97A. Both used to
work properly. Today I could listen to radio communication on both of
them. But when I tried to transmit with the Garmin GNC 420 nobody
acknowledged, and when I tried to do so with the King KY 97A the
reply from the tower was "... read you broken". A friend of mine who
was airborne stated that he also heard me broken. Therefore the cause
could not have been the presence of a hangar between my aircraft and the tower.
I use my headsets regularly in other aircraft and therefore do not
think that the headset was the cause. Would you know what the cause
of this could be, and what I can do to remedy it? Thanks.

Problems transmitting on both radios could be caused from several different things. However, it is likely something that is common, like the audio panel, or the microphone jack, or a grounding problem. I wouldn't completely rule out the headset either. I would most likely think it is from a broken or corroded ground in the system. I would take it to an avionics shop, but you may know the wiring on your aircraft fairly well and can check the continuity and/or resistance for problems fairly easily.
Have a wonderful day,
Dennis

Forgot to give you a trouble shooting tip. Try the failsafe mode on your audio panel. If the problem still exists, then it is not likely to be the audio panel, if you can transmit fine, you have found the problem. On my audio panel, fail safe is turning it off and then you can use Comm 1.
Have a wonderful day,
Dennis
