[Milsurplus] RA-10-RA Receiver

[Jack Antonio]

I took a close look at the pictures and think the radio is actually
an RA-10FA, not RA.

The difference between the DA and FA is that the F replaces
the the 400 to 1100 kc band with another 2-5 mc band.

The biggest hassle would be finding the matching MR-9F control
box to go with it.  Any MR-9 box would work electrically, but one or
more bands would not correspond with the dial.

The last letter, A or B denotes whether or not the MR-11 loop relay
unit is attached.

Figuring out Bendix's numbering scheme can be a hobby in itself.
