Meir:

The RBA is not a regen.  It's a TRF with a tracking BFO.  It is a little
quieter than the RAK.

It's unfortunate the standard Navy Radio Desk only accommodated two receivers
on the top shelf, typically RBB/RBC.  The RBA had to be stacked elsewhere to
get the entire LF/MF/HF spectrum.

At least the RAK/RAL combo covered the whole spectrum in two units.
