SRS-56
Surveillance radio system - this page is a stub

SRS-56 was a complete wireless covert listening system (bug), operating on 350 MHz, developed in the late 1960s by the Dutch Radar Laboratory (NRP), for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as part of a long-term development contract under the codename Easy Chair (EC). It uses the Rejected Pulse (RP) audio masking scheme that was developed exclusively for the CIA.
