I think most all USN gear went no lower than 14kc (AN/SRR-11, AN/FRR-21,
AN/BRR-3, AN/WRR-3, R-389/URR)
To go lower (1kc or less) the Rycom R-1655/URR rcvr (basically a Rycom
frequency selective voltmeter) and HP 302 and 310 wave analyzers do a
pretty good job too.
The HP units seem to go really cheap at hamfests ($20-50)
