[Milsurplus] Question ( RBS; submarine )

[Nick England]

Bill, you have got me really curious - can you show us the 1945 photos? I'd
really like to know what the radio room looked like then and how it was
changed in 1951. Thanks.
------------------------
The first URR-13 contract was NObsr-43176, dated 6 January 1949.

So, what does an actual RED UHF receiver look like? I have never seen one,
although of course the URR-13 and URR-35 were referred to as RED as in
RED/TED receiver/transmitter pair.

The SHIPS 242 entry for RED says rack mount, 10 channel, performance same
as RDZ. So was RED single channel and looked like a URR-13 or was it 10
channel and looked like an RDZ?
--------------
And I thought the SB-82/SRR receiver audio switchbox was a post-war item
too. 1951 contract. Was there an earlier Navy Type number equivalent?
Same for the SB-83/SRT transmitter audio/control switchbox.
Before these, patch panels with cords were used instead of switch boxes.
