The HP-410B AC probe has a diode in it for RF.

The TS-505 VTVM also has an RF probe attachment.

So RF voltages at 455kc would be the place to use it.

Bunches of manuals do NOT tell you every measuring tool to use.

It is one of the reasons that I picked up a TS-585D audio instrument.  
It matches the audio output impedance by switch, and gives a good 
reading when procedures call for peaking an audio stage.

It matched anything that Uncle Sam had from something like 3.2 ohms up 
through 600 ohms.
