[R-390] AGC problems - need help interpreting IF resistance readings

Thanks Matt.

I have the IF deck out of the chassis, so I'm pretty confident the
leakage is in the deck.

Would a leaky filter otherwise perform normally?  In order to isolate
a filter, do I need to disconnect one or both ends?  Is it possible to
disconnect all of them at once by lifting the common ground?  (if I
can find it).
