Built for aircraft where every ounce counts.
The new IC-A300 is the world's smallest and lightest #COMM-only panel mount radio, giving STOL, ultralight, and light sport pilots more room to build the panel they want—without compromising communication.
Tell us what you're flying—or what you're building—in the comments!
