The climber of the right uses a special version of the 9111 with large knobs for gloved hands that was made for Mountain Signal Memorial Fund. This was a non-profit group of mountain rescue people on Mount Hood, Oregon, trained to use these receivers to locate stranded climbers who carry beacons called
MLU.
The Sexton Company donated five of these housings to this effort. The organization has since been merged with Clackamas County Search and Rescue.

This studio shot of a climber using the receiver in a Sexton housing was used in a fund-raising brochure for MSRF.

Tom White and Iris Rodriguez use a 9121 to track Puerto Rican parrots from the rain forest canopy near
Luquillo, Puerto Rico. Their study is important because the Puerto Rican parrot is among the ten most endangered birds on the world.
Writes Tom: "We've had no problems with the product after over 5 years of
use."

Caroline Stahala, a US Fish and Wildlife Service volunteer listens intently for the signal of a radio-tagged Puerto Rican parrot along the Quebrada Jimenex River in Puerto Rico. She uses an environmental housing to protect the Telonics receiver and scanner because this study site experiences over 125 inches of rainfall annually.

Peregrine Fund field staff use a Telonics receiver in a Sexton waterproof housing to track raptors in the rain forests of Madagascar, where annual rainfall could be measured in feet (or meters) rather than inches (or millimeters). On Masoala peninsula, rainfall averages about 22 feet (6500 mm) per year!
