[ARC5] Selectivity and the BC-455

[DSP3]

Ken,

Now that's a new twist on the subject.  Truth told, I have never seen a 
single-coil ARC-5/274-N receiver, but then again, its only recently that 
I've been actually disassembling them.   If there is only one coil, no 
wonder the selectivity is "less than what might be desired".   Which 
manual carries that design, if you or anyone can pass on?

Regards
