[ARC5] RCH receiver - bath-tub caps

[Richard Knoppow]

    I think it was a general purpose shipboard communications 
receiver. It covers the MF and HF bands used by ship to shore and 
by the Navy. Very few of the old receivers designed for ship 
board use were very selective, they were mainly intended to be 
extremely reliable and hard to break.
