SBX11/11A used by just about everybody from north pole to south pole. 
Very popular with trappers, geologists, explorers, govment people out in 
the boonies, etc. Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura used one when he walked 
solo to the north pole.
It was evaluated by the Canadian military as I have one marked Defense 
Research Establishment Ottawa.

The CP24/34 was an attempt by Canadian Marconi to enter the SSB manpack 
market. I have a couple of CP24s which are a 4 channel version of the 
CP34. Not very popular and withdrawn in a short time.
