The BID 1000 was used by the 2nd Danish Signal Battalion who served HQ LANDJUT in the field, and the 6th to provide an interface from NICS TARE to a Danish similar system called FIKS (Forsvarets Integrerede Kommunikations System = Armed Forces Integrated Communications System).
It was also in use on NATO circuits in Belgium at least in some point between 1998 and 2000.
One source refers to the device as "British multikey high speed data encryption and he took a course on it in April/May 1984.
