Soren,
in the picture we see 2 men carrying one radio, an AM radio divided to two packs. And as Davebender wrote, these were normally company level equipment. That was a great weakness when combared to US army, which had radios down to platoon level, SCR-536s. Companies had SCR-300 man-portable FM radio, ie one man was needed to carry it. So US Army had more and better radios, so at least in theory better situational awarness and much easier to get arty support and arty was the big killer.
