Wait a minit. Wasn't the standard loop for the DZ, just the
DW ?

The Navy had a lot of fine ground equipment, but it seems they never developed
on their own, a topnotch HF aircraft receiver during WW2. Instead they put to
use the USAAF's  BC-348. On their own, all they had was the ARB, RU, RAX,
RA-10, none of which come up to the BC-348's level.
Also, in the late 1930s, while the Navy had this early-30s looking DZ df, the Army
already had a much more modern looking df receiver, but not ADF, the BC-310.
