The Heathkit I built about 1975 had a potted, non-adjustable IF that was supposed to have good selectivity - don't know if it was any more sensitive than the usual set, or whether it had some relation to satellite design.

Later IF designs in consumer products used surface wave filters to obtain similar fixed alignment

BTW, does anyone know if Consumer Reports ever published a review of a Heathkit TV?
