Here is another interesting light aircraft radio.

With the number of aircraft at an all time high in 1945 the AAF made available an additional communications radio in January of 1945. The Army had 3,850 units to distribute for calendar year 1945. This small light weight weight radio was designed to work with the existing AVR-20 and AVT-112 radios currently installed in the L-2, L-3, L-4 and L-5 light aircraft.

It is possible that some very late model L-4 aircraft had this radio installed in them if they were operating in and out of AAF airfields that required two way communications.
