[Milsurplus] Need help with RBA

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Terry,

That's interesting.  I would have sworn that RBA-5/6 was the last model, and 
not only because that's the latest model that I have a manual on.  Aside from 
the politically correct (for the period) color, something else must have 
changed as the receiver of the -5/6 was the -A rev (RBA-5 is table mount, RBA-6 is 
rack mount).  Wonder if it was built with the range extension (down to 14.5 
KC) that Field Change 3 added to the CFT-46154-A?  And what VLF station did we 
(or someone else) have that was below 15 KC?
