If injected in this particular radio via antenna the IF will be strongly attenuated by the Wavetrap.

I suspect that the "4 locks" trick is at play here.
Or as one guy put it, when I leave the house, I leave 2 of my locks unlocked and two locked, and leave for the burglars to try to pick them.
Same here: if all or most tanks are strongly out of being tuned to 460kHz, the signal is not getting through and even if the particular tank goes via that frequency, you will never know that.
This is why tuning one by one in this case might help.

Of course it is a theory.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
