[Milsurplus] Question about Parasets

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

There were a number of other US built sets that used the 1.4 and 2.8 volt 
tubes.  Besides the RBZ, the Navy had the MAB and it's several 2-Letter 
predecessors, the DAV, MAW and the (can't think of it right now - Navy BC-721).  
Signal Corps built the BC-611, BC-721, BC-1000 and some battery operated 
test equipment.  Probably others I'm not recalling.
