As a former A-10 pilot we had 3 radios, two of which we could easily talk on by a button on the throttle, forward for UHF, aft for VHF. In my 2023 CubCrafters Carbon Cub FX-3 with a G3X glass panel and two radios (GNC 355 COM1 and GTR 20R COM2) I have to go through screen taps to change radios I'm talking on and of course can control which I'm listening to, but typically both.
Some use COM2 for air to air such as "fingers" and COM1 for ATC/CTAF, etc. It would be much nicer to have a forward/aft selector on the throttle/yoke/stick that would allow the same but I wonder if Garmin is even capable of this? Can a MIC be activated by a physical switch instead of having to change config on the panel?
