You can get the A5, a much more user friendly radio here for less:

I am looking at the Icom radios, the big A-3 at $350 and the small A-5
at $300. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

This is to be my only radio, used on every flight. All flights are
short.

Thanks!

all the best -- Dan Ford
