.....the model RAB, 1000 to 30,000 kHz (1935) provided performance which =
in

size
and weight limited its installation to the larger ships and shore =
stations.
 Of the more compact and lighter models which followed, the model RAL of
the tuned-radio-frequency type, and the models RAO, RBB, RBC, and RBS of
the superheterodyne type were procured in large numbers....

Gee, I have been laboring under the illusion that the RBB and RBC were =
the
heavyweights. =20
