Tap
Trap - Telephone Wire Tap Detector
While it is useful (almost necessary), the telephone is the most
serious threat to your privacy in existence today. Your phone line
can be wiretapped or bugged and the telephone instrument itself can
be quickly and easily converted to a very efficient room monitor.
Description
Not too much can be done about down-line taps. However, using the
TAP TRAP™, you can check your phone line for on-premises series and
parallel bugs and wiretaps. You can also check your telephone for
the most common types of hook switch bypasses.
A hook switch bypass is a modification to the telephone instrument
so that the carbon microphone (transmitter) or dynamic earphone
(receiver) will pick up room sounds and pass them down the phone
line to a listening post even with the phone hung up. This
effectively turns the telephone into a room monitor.

The TAP TRAP™ detects series devices with a resistance of 61 ohms or
more. (Most series taps have a resistance of over 100 ohms.) It also
detects parallel devices with a resistance of 65 megohms or less.
(Most parallel taps are under 30 meg-ohms.)
It can also detect
certain capacitive coupled taps. It weighs 7 oz. and is furnished in
a high impact case that measures 4.25" x 3.25" x 1.5". The unit
comes complete with all necessary plugs, cords, adapters, battery
and an informative, illustrated instruction manual.
Please
note that neither the
TT-46 or
TT-07 are "magic boxes" that are connected permanently to a working
phone line. They are both test sets that let you check your
on-premises wiring and telephones for eavesdropping devices or taps.
In order to do this, you must be able to disconnect your inside
wiring from the telephone line coming into your home or business.This is done at the interface between the telephone line and inside
wiring; usually just by unplugging a cable at the interface box
mounted on the side of the building. There is nothing difficult
about this, but, of course, you must have Access to this interface
box.
