"Would it follow, then, the RS-6 could also be run off all the various
GRC-9 and BC-1306 supplies?"

Hi Dennis - I think one could make some sort of a "power interconnect
connector box" to make that happen for the transmitter - similar 400 VDC
and 6.3 V and current draw for both types of transmitters.  The various
GRC-9 power supplies could handle that.  But the RS-6 receiver takes 6.3 V
for the filaments versus the 1.4 V for the GRC-109 receiver.  You could
lash up a 6.3-to-1.4 volt regulator to take care of that problem for the
receiver.  So yes, the basic voltages necessary would be there...
