The letters don't mean anything except the first letter. The remaining letters are like the -5 in ARC-5, no meaning other than sequence.
R= receiver. M= transceiver T= transmitter or transmitter-receiver system.

The only case where I think ( think ) the letters for a Navy equipment was the TDE transmitter, which I read in a GE book, was developed
particularly for Destroyer Escorts, DE's. I think in the case of the TBS, the "Talk Between Ships" was just something picked up colloquially
by the crews.
