I always verify my sig gen with a counter. During one of my tests, I also fed 470 (which is the IF for this radio) into the antenna jack at full strength. The tone was pretty constant outside of I heard a fluctuation at 940 and around 1410 in the tone. So I believe that means the IF's are aligned. Not sure how else to prove that.

Also, if the IF's were off, I don't think I'd get such strong AVC on the local station. -6 seems to be a pretty strong signal from what I've seen for OTA signals. And I'm pretty sure the dial wouldn't track, and stations would be "wide" on the dial (meaning they come in over a large span of stations on the dial).
