Mini Probe Receiver
The MPR-5 was a portable modular intercept receiver, developed and
produced by Mason Engineering Inc. (USA) in 1990,
as the successor to the MPR-1 receiver.
It was the last member of the Mason family of bug finders to be released
before the company had to close its doors.
The receiver is similar in appearance to the earlier MPR-1
and has the same size.

There are however some important differences.
First of all, the controls of both the receiver and the display unit are
slightly different. New on this model is the addition of a narrow frequency
counter with LCD readout, mounted in between receiver and display unit.
The most striking difference however, is that the adjustment controls have
been moved to the receiver unit, whereas on earlier units
(MPR-1) each
plug-in unit had its own controls. The new design is more cost-effective
and has a far more accurate tuning adjustment.

Despite the fact that Mason went into liquidation in the late 1990s,
the MPR-5 still is considered one of the most modern and useful mini
probe receivers of the analog era. It is still widely used today by TSCM
companies all over the world.
It was the last model produced by Mason.
