I, like Jim Frantz, think that 1 comm radio is enough for IFR flight. To me navigation is more important than communication.

When there is a communication problem on an IFR flight, there is a procedure to follow. When communication is lost, continue to follow your clearance or flight plan if you exceed the clearance.

I fly with a built in Fly Buddy Loran and a handheld GPS195. Of course all approaches need to have the required equipment to execute that specific approach.
