Yep, mine with the outboard 50dB preamp does well all the way down to 10kc

(doesn't do kHz)and only stops there because tht is the lower limit of the

tuning range of the pre-amp!  On it's lowest range (tunes 10kc to 11Mc in 9

ranges) the preamp has to be re-tuned every couple hundred CPS or so.

Mostly I inhabit the area of 200kc to 530kc!!

I play around with the LF frequencies a little bit, mainly use a Drake R8B 
and a Lowe HF-225 with a Quantum QX Pro Loop.
