'Lowfers' are a growing set of low-frequency listeners, which are the counter-part of short-wave listeners. Place an Internet search to learn more.
This Rycom will tune from about 1kHz up through most of the AM broadcast band to about 1500kHz. Operational test modes are Amplitude Modulation (AM), Upper Sideband (USB) and Lower Sideband (LSB). Rycoms can also be used for signal tracing in the IF strips of radio receivers during alignment and maintenance activities.
Rycoms are also used for very low-frequency carrier signal tests by power companies. These signals are often superimposed directly on high voltage power lines for data, telemetry, protective relaying and telephony applications. Such signals below about 200 kHz can often be received on a simple wire antenna. Rycoms can also be used for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) detection and location.
