[Milsurplus] RBK-1

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Brad,

I don't know for sure as the only RBK manual I have is for RBK-16.  But it 
has a model comparison table covering everything up through the -16, and says 
that up through -15, all models had three antenna inputs (one for each band) 
like the Signal Corps BC-787 models that I've seen or seen manuals on do.  
Unfortunately, it does not say what connectors were used.  My guess is that if the 
Navy wanted it to have some specific connector or connectors, they would have 
ordered it that way.  And if the Navy had modified any significant number of 
the earlier sets, it probably would show up in the table.  The RBK-16 alone is 
listed with one coaxial antenna input connector.
