I think that is an RAB-4, not RAS, at 15:20 and 20:50 in the film.
See https://www.navy-radio.com/rcvr-ww2.htm for some photos.
Definitely shipboard, given the bulkhead riveting. Carrier? I dunno....

And it looks like a laptop computer screen to the right of the RAB-4 ??!!??

This RCA film, “Radio At War”, has probably been already mentioned umpteen times, but i just viewed it myself.

I saw RCA AR-77 receiver; TBY transceiver; SCR-610 radio in Jeep;  BC-375 ? transmitter in wood chest; SCR-178 in wood chest in forest with handcrank

generator; BC-611 handie-talkie; Navy large console with RAS HRO-type receiver at left ( i do NOT believe aircraft carrier installation ); RCA AR-60 receiver,

SCR-284 ( BC-654 ) on beach. Also carrier takeoff films of SBD ( “Slow But Deadly” or “Speedy D” ) warplanes.

 

I noticed, from the cut of the American troops, this was filmed long before the obesity virus escaped from Wuhan.
