Scanlock is a range of Technical Surveillance Counter Measures
(TSCM) equipment, developed by
Audiotel International Ltd. in Corby (UK).
Scanlock equipment has been on the market since the early 1970s.
At the time, Audiotel was among the first companies to build bug-finding
receivers for the professional market. Scanlock products are sold
world-wide to goverments, law enforcement agencies and TSCM professionals.
|
Some of their well-known early products are described in this section,
such as the Scanlock Mark VB that was described
in Keith Melton's book Ultimate Spy
[1]
.
Other popular Scanlocks are the Scanlock 2000,
the Scanlock ECM
and the Scanlock Broom.
It is little known that, besides bug-finders, Audiotel has also
developed and manufactured a range of
surveillance radios;
small radio transceivers that could easily be hidden under the
operator's clothing and were used for covert operations.

Today, Audiotel is still actively developing TSCM equipment, which is
sold in over 90 countries around the world. Their current products
include the Scanlock M2, Scanlock M3, the SuperBroom and much more.
