Yes, the RBO was mounted in the ship's "radio shack" and was used to pipe radio programs over the ship's 1MC speaker system.

The reason the RBO is 103LBS is the extensive shielding built in and around the set. Enemy subs could detect a superhet's oscillator and use it to DF and find the ship the radio was on.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
