Commercial point-to-point receivers that were
used by the military got pretty big.  Western
Electric's first sideband receiver took up five
racks.  The LD-R1 receiver only used one rack.
The AN/FRR-3 took a full rack.  The Navy RPB-2
took a few racks, and it was the only receiver
that was so tall that there was a little step
to stand on in order to tune the first few
stages, and to move the antenna connectors around.
