The RBP was a dual triple-diversity (6 receiver) HF system made by RCA
and used by the Navy in WW2 at communication stations mainly for RTTY
and high-speed CW traffic. I've just added a page to my web site with
photos, block diagram, spec sheets, and downloadable pdf manual. Just
in case you are curious about 3000 lb. receivers....

The RBP was replaced by National's AN/FRR-24 triple diversity system,
also 3000 lbs, but a single triple-diversity setup.
