Default How good are the AR-88 RCA receivers?

I believe that the IF on the AR-88 is peaked and not staggered, which

They are indeed (or are supposed to be) stagger tuned - with two
transformers over-coupled and two under-coupled --- that's why the RCA
manual has such a lengthy procedure - using a sweep gen.

That's right! Those have three IF stages! You win Randy. Yes you would be
better served using a sweep. I'm gonna go mope in the corner now. : (
