[Milsurplus] RBB receiver

[Meir WF2U]

The RBM receivers are nor really shipboard receivers, but are the receivers which go with the TBW transmitter and associated generator, battery and generator supplies; the whole system is a transportable shore command post radio set. 
The RBS is HF (similar to the HF RBM), with the AC supply which includes an audio amplifier to drive a loudspeaker. It was intended to be used as a monitoring receiver on the bridge, even had a splash-proof mounting enclosure with a cover. There was no LF-MF twin in the RBS series as in the RBM.
