[Milsurplus] What is the difference between a RBM and RBS receiver?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

And of course, the RBS is only the HF receiver - doesn't include the MF 
receiver and doesn't include the dynamotor supply and some other things that 
allowed it to interoperate with the TBW.  But almost no one ever has those, 
anyway.  If your future buyer wants an RBM manual, I can supply one.  It also 
depends upon what model your RBM HF receiver is and which model RBS the 
manual that you have covers.  A quick look at the final manuals for the RBM 
through RBM-5 and the RBS through RBS-2 indicates that the RBS receivers are 
probably the same as the RBM-5 HF receiver.
