Rod,

The two receivers plus either one rectifier power supply (the 20086) or one 
dynamotor supply are the major components of the Navy RBM receiving set.  The 
46076A covers 200-2000 KC.  The 46077A cover 2-20 MC.  The were used some as 
shipboard receivers but were also used with the TBW as a long range pack set 
where they were enclosed in a waterproof cabinet.

The power supply is moderately heavy but the receivers don't weigh any more 
than a BC-348 as construction was aluminum throughout.
