The 4 watt UK/PRC-351 replaced the Larkspur stations radio A41 and A42 from 1976 and was issued to infantry and Royal Marines at platoon or company level.  The UK/PRC-352 added a 20 watt amplifier and could be used either as a man pack or as a clip in vehicle set replacing Larkspur sets B47 and B48. It could be used with various batteries including a 3.5AH Ni-cad, a hand generator float charging a 1AH NiCad, or a non-reusable 16AH lithium battery. The 351 and 352 have facilities for remote operation over up to 3km of field telephone wire and a pair can be connected to act as a rebroadcast station. The UK/PRC-351M had wideband audio support to allow use with the BID C300 encrypted speech unit for secure communications,
