The image on the right shows the subminiature bug aside a few real
sugar cubes. The device is powered by an internal 1.5V button-type
battery and has an operational range of 150 (indoors) to 300 metres
(outdoors). It is based on a rather simple free-running
transmitter, operating at 283.9 MHz,
the device is rather instable.
The frequency can be
adjusted with a small screw
in the bottom half of the device. The conversation in the room
is picked up by a sensitive microphone that is located behind
a small hole at one of the corners of the unit.

As the device is rather sensitive to the so-called hand effect,
it is less suitable for body worn operation. Instead it should be
hidden in a room, for example between real sugar cubes. Due to
the extremely small size (23 x 23 x 12 mm), it can be built into a variety of concealments.
In 1993, the device shown here was sold 'under the counter'
for NLG 550 (EUR 200) [1].
