Plus the light aircraft set, the Bendix-Hollywood Model 3801 that
was used by the USN (although where and why, I'm not sure).

Here's some USAAF/USAF examples that use the Cannon K somewhere:
AN/ARC-9 (Bendix RTA-1B)
AN/ARC-59 (Collins 18S-4)
AN/ARN-11 (Bendix MN-26LB)

Bendix seemed to like the Cannon K.  It's surprising that they
were not used on stuff like the SCR-269 and AN/ARN-7, or even
the SCR-522.

The Collins 180L antenna matching units use the Cannon K, so that
adds the CU-1669/AR (180L-2) for the AN/ARC-94 (618T-2) and 
AN/ARC-102 (618T-3).  Plus, there's all those USAF 618S-1 sets
that used the 180L-3 (no JAN nomenclature).

Oddly, the CU-351/AR antenna coupler for the USN AN/ARC-38 and -38A
is identical to the 180L-3 EXCEPT that it does NOT use a Cannon K.
It uses an Amphenol AN instead.
