Hi Carl,

If you'd like, I can e-mail you a photograph of the painted logo on the 
front panel of the rig---plainly says "CC" on it, along the top...and the 
rig itself is identified with a military moniker in the manual.

** Didnt I already say a contract was probably issued..... and those 
generally have a military style manual and a military designation. Changing 
the panel is as simple as a new silk screen since somebody was paying for 
it.


I just think the "CC" was the Canadian military version of the CDC which, if 
I understand correctly, was ID'ed by a simple sticker affixed to the LH side 
of the front panel...?

** Correct, it was not a new model as in different features as in that ER 
article. Here Im assuming it had PTT and the audio limiter installed as in 
the CDC? What did the Canadian military do with it or were they in charge of 
administering the CD?

The top of my panel says "Johnson Viking II - CDC" with the little round CD 
decal on the left but Ive seen several without that; maybe removed later, 
and others with a larger decal.

I guess it can be hard for one to understand the existance of something, as 
you say, if one has never seen said something before...!    : >)
