Narrative:
5 mins before departure, flight crew informed us that #1 VHF would not transmit, only receive. The full time mechanic went into the east&east compartment and said he swapped #1 VHF communication with the spare on board. I went upstairs and checked operation of radio and found to be working normal. I then signed off the logbook as replacing #1 VHF communication receiver and checks good. (In reality the mechanic swapped #1 navigation receiver with spare.)
