If you click through to the datasheet, you can see the frequency response of each of the 5 probes. Each probe is capable of picking up signals down to low frequency, but they only have good gain around a particular frequency band. So it's not as if this is one probe that is equally good at detecting all frequencies.

Hmm... antenna (aka frequency probe) shape vs. gain... someone should make a table of those... actually, even better would be a chart with various combinations of antenna shape, material (e.g., metal/alloy A vs. metal/alloy B), and frequency response... even more interesting might be trying various different meta-materials, fractal shapes, etc., etc... Note to future self: Here might be some interesting experiments...
