[ARC5] Navy Laison Radios?

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

Boy, you're a tough customer...

I guess not a BC-312/342...
I surmise not a RAX...


Oh, yes! Something just clicked - not airborne but still Navy, small  
and similar to the  shape factor of the ARB: The RBS or RBM.
Here they are (they both look similar, but belong in different  
systems/configurations):

The RBM is a 2 receiver system (goes with the TBW transmitter),  both  
identical in looks, one covers 200 KHz - 2 MHz and the other 2 MHz to  
16 MHz. The RBS is the stand-alone 2-16 MHz receiver usually mounted  
on the bridge for traffic monitoring.
