I have one that I should never have bought - no place to put it, no need
for it, and no time to work on it.  But it called out, "take me home with
you."

I've not been able to learn what the purpose of the thing was.  Seems
unlikely it was for troop entertainment, considering it lacks the AM
broadcast band.  But doesn't really seem like a communications receiver
either, though it has a BFO.  Maybe it's meant as a backup for more
specific communications receivers like the RBA, RBB, RBC family.
