RX-788 is a covert listening device (bug),
disguised as a regular Motorola pager, introduced in 1992 by
Audio Intelligence Devices
(AID) in Fort Lauderdale (Florida, USA).
The device has a built-in subminiature microphone that picks up room audio
and transmits it on a spot frequency in the VHF radio band between 150 and 174 MHz, using Frequency Modulation
(FM) and no encryption.
