[ARC5] ARC-2: IF Regeneration is a "No"

As noted in a earlier post, even "light" feedback 
radically changed the bandpass and resonance 
of the IF amplifiers and this effect varies with tuning, 
ruining the fine tracking of the variable IF and RF stages.
This would be OK if the ARC-2 was to be parked on
3885 KC and never move again, but that's not my goal.
"Adjusting" the regeneration while tuning requires 
boogering the front panel for a new control 
and in my world, that is also an automatic "no."
So my list of possible options is getting thin ;-).
