***** Yes it does! The Diversity IF Gain control allows the gain of the IF
strip to be manually adjusted when three 88Fs are used in RCA
DR89,Diversity Communication Receiver.When used as a unit receiver,turn the
Diversity Gain control fully clockwise and leave it there.The rear panel
output terminals are slightly different between the models.

AR88F is covered in TM 11-880

Thanks Brian for the info. Anyone know where I can get this technical manual TM 11-880?
