This is an RBA. Don't recall what that field change #3 is. Does yours
have a plug adapter in the upper right hand corner of the panel like
mine? "http://www.w2ec.com/rba.html". That's a change to add a
panadapter but I don't recall the change number. I have manuals for the
RBA and RBB/RBC series. I could make a copy if you really need it but it
is big, I'd have to send it out to Kinkos. I've done it for others in
the past, cost me about $25 including shipping it out USPS Priority mail.
