In order to hook up one of these you need access to the target telephone. It has a tone decorder & switch inside. When it is installed, someone calls the tapped phone & BEFORE it rings, blows a whistle over the line. The transmitter receives the tone & picks up the phone via a relay. The mike on the phone is activated so the called can hear all conversations in the room. There is a sweep tone test at (415) BUG-1111 which can be used to detect one of these taps. If one of these if on your lines & the test # sends the correct tone, you'll hear a click. <><>->Part V:Voice of Chester =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=*>206-641-2381<*=- Type 111 on a touch tone phone and then it will give you a directory of recordings for the week.
