"Bones" asked:

"Was there a mass-produced military (or civilian) HF
receiver anywhere in 1945 better than the RBC?"

I think the AR-88 gives the RBC a run for its money in many ways.   For selectivity the AR-88 in narrow crystal filter mode may be about a toss-up to RBC in sharp with the audio filter on.  

I'm not sure this could be settled without setting one of each down next to some good test equipment to measure dynamic range etc.

I'll put it on my list of projects.
