[ARC5] Regeneration

[jmfranke]

Yes, as you pointed out, it is a TRF.  In my limited opinion, it is one of 
the best TRF receivers ever built.  Someday I would like to find one in 
operable or restorable condition.  Another TRF I am playing with are the 
BC-XX-229/429 series aircraft receivers.  They are not the best, but can 
still be fun.

Take care,
