Introduction
============
The Lunch Box Is A Very Simple Transmitter Which Can Be Handy For All Sorts Of
Things. It Is Quite Small And Can Easily Be Put In A Number Of Places. I Have
Successfully Used It For Tapping Fones, Getting Inside Info, Blackmail And
Other Such Things. The Possibilities Are Endless. I Will Also Include The
Plans For An Equally Small Receiver For Your Newly Made Toy. Use It For Just
About Anything. You Can Also Make The Transmitter And Receiver Together In One
Box And Use It As A Walkie Talkie.

Notes About The Schematic
=========================
1. Gnd Means Ground
2. The Gnd Near The Switch And The Gnd
By The 2Meg Potentiometer Should Be
Connected
3. Where You See: )(
()
)( It Is The
Transistor Antenna Coil With 15 Turns Of Regular Hook-Up Wire Around It.
4. The Middle Of The Loop On The Left
Side (The Left Of "()") You Should Run
A Wire Down To The "+" Which Has
Nothing Attached To It. There Is A
.0047 Capacitor On The Correct Piece Of
Wire.
5. For The Microphone Use A Magnetic
Earphone (1K To 2K).
6. Where You See "[!]" Is The Antenna.
Use About 8 Feet Of Wire To Broadcast
Approx 300Ft. Part 15 Of The Fcc Rules
And Regulation Says You Can'T Broadcast
Over 300 Feet Without A License.
(Hahaha). Use More Wire For An Antenna
For Longer Distances. (Attach It To The
Black Wire On The Fone Line For About A
250 Foot Antenna!)
Operation Of The Lunch Box
==========================
This Transmitter Will Send The Signals Over The Am Radio Band. You Use The
Variable Capacitor To Adjust What Freq. You Want To Use. Find A Good Unused
Freq. Down At The Lower End Of The Scale And You'Re Set. Use The 2 Meg Pot.
To Adjust Gain. Just Screw With It Until You Get What Sounds Good. The Switch
On The 2Meg Is For Turning The Lunch Box On And Off. When Everything Is
Adjusted, Turn On An Am Radio Adjust It To Where You Think The Signal Is. Have
[A Friend Say Some Shit Thru The Box And Tune In To It. That'S All There Is To
It. The Plans For A Simple Receiver Are Shown Below:
The Lunch Box Receiver
======================
(1) 9 Volt Battery With Battery Clip

Closeing Statement
==================
This Two Devices Can Be Built For Under Total Of $10.00. Not Too Bad. Using
[These Devices In Illegal Ways Is Your Option. If You Get Caught, I Accept No
Responsibility For Your Actions. This Can Be Alot Of Fun If Used Correctly.
Hook It Up To The Red Wire (I Think) On The Fone Line And It Will Send The
Conversation Over The Air Waves. If You Have Any Problems Or Are Confused,
Leave Me Mail On:Hi-Times=702/832/7469
This Is A Most Unusual Project; We Are Going To Mount A Sensitive Microphone
Behind A Series Of Acoustic Wave Guides And Hope For The Best. Actually, Our
Wave Guides Are Aluminum Tubes Cut To Resonate At Frequencies Near The Human
Voice Range. This Arrangement Also Serves To Make The Unit Highly Directional
As Sound Other Than That Arriving At The Mouth Of The Tubes Arrives At The Mic
In An Out-Of-Phase Condition And Cancels Itself Out.
With This Easily Constructed Device It Is Possible (Under Ideal Conditions) To
Pick Up Conversations Several Hundred Feet Away, In Fact, Reports Of Recording
Conversations Up To 30 Yards Away Through A Closed Window Have Been Made...
The Device Is Quite Easy To Construct: First Get Together The Following
Materials:
[1] 56' Of 3/8" Outside Diameter
Aluminum Tubing (Hardware Stores)
[2] 1 Sensitive Amplifier With
Operating Paraphenalia
[3] 1 Sensitive Microphone Element -
Use Either A Good Condenser Or A
Crystal, As Their Outputs Tend To
Be A Bit Higher Than Their Dynamic
Counterparts.
[4] 1 Funnel
[5] Assorted Small Hardware
Cut The Tubing Into 37 Pieces Ranging From 1" Through 36" In One Inch
Divisions. Now Bundle Them Together Symmetrically With One End Flush (As
Shown). As You Assemble Them, Blue Them Together In Several Places To Assure
They Remain In The State You Have Put Them In (Were It Only So Easy With
People...).
Ooo

Flush Ends Of Tubes
Take The Funnel And Fit It Around The Flush End Of The Tube Bundle. Being
Astute Enough To Read This, I Am Sure You Will Notice The Tubes Do Not Exactly
Fit Into The Funnel. At This Realization, Take A Small Hammer And Beat The
Funnel To Nearly As Possible. Now Fill The Remaining Spaces With A Good Rubber
Based Caulking Compound.
The Microphone Element Is Placed In The Neck Of The Funnel (With A Rubber
Grommet If It Is Small Enough To Fit Up Into The Neck - Otherwise Set It Into
The Other End Of The Neck Before Caulking The Tubing In Place). Glue The Mic
Into Place And Caulk Any Air Space Around It.
Run The Microphone Wires Out The Neck Of The Funnel, Glue In Place, And Also
Caulk To Give It A Closed, Fairly Air Invincible Seal Around The Entire Unti.
If You Really Feel Up To It, Fiberglass Resin Can Be Used Instead Of Caulking
Compound.

Run The Output Wires To Your Amplifier And Place The Entire Unit On Some Sort
Of Support, A Camera Tripod Being Ideal. (Need I Remind You To Check Matching
Impedances?). The Unit Should Be Aimed At The Subject And Then Panned About
For Maximum Volume (Sound Does Not Travel In A Straight Line, But May Vary With
Wind, Etc).
If Wind Noise Overrides Your Target Noise You Can Place A Piece Of Cheesecloth
Across The End Of The Unit. If A Particularly Difficult Noise Interferes With
Your Pick-Up You Can Often Plug Up The Tube(S) Carrying This Noise With A Cork.
The Clear Box
The Clear Box Is A New Device Which Has Just Been Invented That Can Be Used
Throughout Canada And Rural U.S. The Clear Box Works On "Post Pay" Payphone
(Fortress Phones). Those Are The Payphone That Don'T Require Payment Until
After The Connection Is Established. You Pick Up The Phone, Get A Dial Tone,
Dial Your Number, And Then Insert Your Money After The Person Answers. If You
Don'T Deposit The Money Then You Can Not Speak To The Person On The Other End-
Because Your Mouth Piece Is Cut Off, But, Not The Ear Piece. (Obviously These
Phones Are Good For Free Calls To Weather Or Time Or Other Other Such
Recordings)
All You Must Do Is Go To Your Nearby Radio Shack, Or Electronics Store, And Get
A Four-Transistor Amplifier And A Telephone Suction Cup Induction Pick-Up. The
Induction Pick-Up Would Be Hooked Up As It Normally Would To Record A
Conversation, Except That It Would Be Plugged Into The Output Of The Amplifier
And A Microphone Would Be Hooked To The Input. So When The Party That Is Being
Called Answers, The Caller Could Speak Through The Little Microphone Instead.
His Voice Then Goes Through The Amplifier And Out The Induction Coil, And Into
The Back Of The Reciever Where It Would Then Be Broadcast Through The Phone!
Lines And The Other Party Would Be Able To Hear The Caller. The Clear Box Thsu
'Clears Up' The Problem Of Not Being Heard. Luckily, The Line Will Not Be
Cut-Off After A Certain Amount Of Time Because It Will Wait Forever For The
Coins To Be Put In.
The Biggest Advantage For All Of Us About This New Clear Box Is The Fact That
This Type Of Payphone Willl Most Likely Become Very Common Due To A Few Things:
1: It Is A Cheap Way Of Getting The
Dtf, Dial-Tone-Service
2: It Doesn'T Require Any Special
Equipment,(For The Phone Company)
3: This Payphone Will Work On Any
Phone Line. Usually A Payphone
Line Is Different, But This Is A
Regular Phone Line And It Is Set
Up So The Phone Does All The
Charging, Not The Company.
File: Detecting Phone Bugs
Bug Detection On Home Phones
First Of All To Test For Bugs, You Need A Vom (Multimeter) The Higher The
Impedance The Better (A Digital With Fet Circuitry Or A Vacuum Tube Volt Meter
Is The Best).
First Disconnect The Phone Line(S) At Both Ends. Undo The Phone Instrument And
Hook It Up To The Entry Point Of The Phone Line From The Outside World (Ma Bell
Does Not Like You Cut Her Off Completely.) The Scheme Is The Physi- Cally
Isolate Your House, Apartment, Etc From The Outside World. But Before You Do
This Measure The Line Voltage (It Should Be Approximately 48 Volts).
Now With The Wires Disconnected At Both Set Your Resistance Scal To A High
Reading And Measure The Resistance Of The Phone Line, It Should Be Very High On
The Order Of Million Ohms Or More, This Is The Normal Condition, Since You Are
Measuring The Resistance Of An Open Circuit. If It Is Much Less, Say
50-100Kohms Then You A Device On The Line That Does Not Belong There, Probably
A Parallel Bug.
Now Twist The End Of The Disconnected Wire And Go To The Other End And Measure
The Resistance Of This. This Resistance Should Be About One Ohm Or Two At The
Most In A Big House With A Lot Of Phones. If It Is More, Then You Probably
Have A Series Bug.
If In The First Case, Taking Parallel Measurements Using A Meter (Not Led/ Lcd)
And You Notice A "Kick" In The Needle, You Probably Have A Line Tap
Now If You Also Make A Measurement With The Wire End Twisted Together And You
Notice The Resistance Reads About 1-2Kohms, Then You May Have A Drop-Out Relay.
A Drop-Out Relay Is A Relay That Senses A Phone Going Off Hook, And Signals A
Tape Recorder To Start Recording.
Another Test To Do With The Phones Still Hooked Up To The Outside World, On
Hook Voltage Is About 48 Volts And Off Hook Is About 6-10 Volts. Any Other
Con- Ditions May Mean Telephone Surveillance.
If You Use A Wide Range Audio Frequency Generator And Call You House,
Apartment, Etc. From Another Phone And Sweep Up And Down The Spectrum, And You
Notice The Phone Answers Itself Somewhere In The Sweep You Probably Have An
Infinity Transmitter On Your Line.
The Above Information Tells Nothing About Telco Taps At The Central Office, Or
Anywhere Else Along The Line, But This Information May Tell You That Your Wife,
Girlfriend(Boyfriend), Or Business Associate May Be Monitoring Your Phone
Activities.
An Infinity Transmitter Is A Neat Device It Allows You To Call The Bugged Place
And It Shuts Off The Ringer And Defeats The Switchhook, So The Mouthpiece Now
Becomes A Room Bug. It Was Orginally Sold From The Travelling Business Man To
Make Sure His Wife Was Safe At Home Not Being Attacked (Or Fucking Her
Boyfriend Behind His Back).
