Default Re: 6-gang FM stereo tuner heads

It is easy to do frequency sweep of IF stages but it is hard to do visual sweep on the FM front ends...
I didn't mean the output of the IF strip, but the output of the IF transformer of front end, and assumed it having a smaller bandwidth than that of preceding stages. You could get a meaningful picture, improving the resolution of the sweep by adding another IF filter (of high Q) past this IF transformer.
And sorry, I had a typical transistor-oriented IF secondary impedance ~100-200 Ohm in my head.
