[Milsurplus] Navy RBM...performance?

[C Eus]

Thanks for all the sage advice.  I knew it was good mojo to join this
illustrious group! Now my question is:  how is the performance of this
radio?  I may be getting a nice ART-13 w/ power supply and would like a
companion rx to go along with it (forget the fact that the ART-13 was
originally paired with the BC-348 or ARR-xx). I just want a radio to use
with the ART-13 for AM and CW operation.  I'm not particularly too fussy
with the "correct" pairing of this rig.

With the exception of the lack of 160 meter coverange on the particular RBM
unit that I have, it seems to be ok.  Incidentally, someone looks like they
'brewed away from the orignally RBM by stripping it from its original
cabinet, added a combination power supply and dual 6V6 audio amp and placed
the new combo to accommodate a 19" rack unit.  Conversion doesn't seem to
shabby.  It does lack the old bezel.  I was considering adding an S-meter to
the rack but that's another story.  Any other commentaries appreciated.
Thanks. Cal, N6KYR/4.
