Bug Detectors

Bug Detectors (TL9)

RF Bug Detector (TL9): Detects and locates radio transmitters and microphones. This requires a Quick Contest between the operator's Electronics Operation (Surveillance) skill and the Electronics Operation (Surveillance) skill of whoever hid the bug. Locating a bug involves sweeping the room with the device (range 1 yard). The detector has a range of one yard, and takes 10 seconds to scan 100 square feet. $200, 0.1 lb., A/10 hr. LC4.

Multispectral Bug Sweeper (TL9): A countersurveillance radio frequency detector integrated with IR sensors and sensitive microphones. Adds +2 (quality) to Electronics Operation (Surveillance) skills when used to sweep for transmitters (infrared, sonic, and radio), comm taps, microphones, recorders, sound detectors, and other bugs. It can scan automatically with its own skill of (TL+5). It can check or monitor comm lines, or everything within a 10-yard radius. It folds up into a small briefcase. $10,000, 5 lbs., C/10 hr. LC3.

GUT Bug Sweeper (TL11^): An advanced system that can also detect transmitters using gravity-ripple or neutrino comms. $20,000, 5 lbs., C/10 hr. LC3.
