Is the RU 18 the same as the RU-19 except   18 is  12-14  volts   and the 
19 is  24v.....

If you are looking for  historically-accurate matches for the 1940 GO-9 0.3 
to 0.6 and 3.0 to 18.1 MHz  liaison transmitter:

1.  Rule out RU-4A, RU-5A, and RU-14.   Those are command set receivers 
used with transmitters GF-3, GF-5, and GF-9,  respectively.  They are also very 
rare today.

2.  Rule out  RU-6.  It is a liaison system that uses two CBY-46048B 
receivers and is  very rare.  It also dates from 1937, while the GO-9 dates from  
1940.

2.  Rule out ARA or ARB.  Those are command set  receivers eith top 
coverage of 9.1 MHz.  There are the instances of USN  using C-131/AR-equipped R-26 
and R-27/ARC-5 receivers or even the ARB with the  AN/ART-13 in 
remotely-controlled installations, but these were not used with  the locally-controlled 
GO-9.

3.  The most appropriape matching  receiver systems for a GO-9 are:

-  RU-19   0.195 to  13.575 MHz.  It normally uses two CW-46048D receivers.

-   RAX-1.  0.200 to 27.000 MHz.  A complete three-receiver RAX-1 is  
rather difficult to put together today, but it would be the best of all  
candidates.
