Yes you are correct that the radio will still work. But yeah if you want to change freqs you'd need to count clicks.
WOuldn't it be great if they had a small frequency annunciator panel down by the standby instruments? Really shoulda thought about that!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Garmin1000, but I just feel like the Avidyne package is more user friendly, and I have 10X as much time in the G1000.
I also don't like in the G1000 the fact that the Localizer and Glideslope needles are about 6 inches away from each other at a strange angle.
And to think that I used to have the AHRS failure modes for the G1000 memorized in order to still keep your heading indicator. Ah, to be a student and only have to study.
