[Milsurplus] RBM vs. RBS

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Robert,

Actually, the RBM also has an AC supply, although it doesn't look like the 
one for the RBS.

The RBS (originally anyway) has the letters "B", "T", "L" and "G" in white on 
the four middle knobs.  And the couple of examples that I've seen plus 
the photos in the manual all have a fixed tuning chart holder instead of the 
roll chart found on some (early) RBM's.
