[Milsurplus] Transmitter to match RBG-2

[Meir WF2U]

Bill,

Sorry to disappoint you but the RBG series receivers had no matching
transmitters. They were used as signals intercept (eavesdropping on enemy
communications) receivers in the Navy. Later in the war when better
receivers were more available for intercept duties, the RBG was relegated to
intercept operator training. There is a Navy document from 1944, listing
equipment in the Point St. George, CA Naval station listing radio equipment,
mentioning the RBG-2 here:  http://www.navy-radio.com/nyw/srh292.htm   .

I have a good working Hammarlund RBG-2 receiver and would like to mate it
with an appropriate military transmitter. I need suggestions as to the
type, or if there was a particular model that was generally used with
this receiver. Or was it just a general coverage receiver used for
everyday listening?

The poor thing looks lonely sitting on the shelf by itself. After all I
have an ART-13 to go with my BC-348 it's only fair the RBG have a mate
too.

Thanks,
Bill
