[Milsurplus] RBM/RBS

[George Babits]

I appreciate all the comments on these receivers, especilly since I have 2 
or 3 of eack.  Asside from the broad frequency response, I don't see much 
difference in the dial mark spacing between the HF version of the RBM / RBS 
when compared with their contemporany receivers.  The RBC, BC-348, BC-342, 
all cover the 20 meter band in 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch or so.

As for the broad frequence response, most receivers were pretty broad if I 
remember right.  Someone mentioned the BC-652 and I had one of them running 
off the dynamotor over Christmas and it did a passable job on SSB, but much 
better for AM and CW.

One comment got me wondering about the RBM though.  Since it was more or 
less supposed to be used with the TBW, is the power supply frequency 800 
cycles?
