- this page is a stub
CSD-18 was a transmitter and wiretap detector,
developed around 1992
by Great Southern Security in Carrolton (GA, USA). The device was
typically marketed as a low-cost device for anyone who was afraid of being
bugged. It was avaiable for US$ 295 (1992) to US$ 495 (1999).

According to the manufacturer, the device was suitable for the detection
of bumper beepers, infinity devices, body transmitters, telephone and recording
devices, and serial and parallel telephone line wiretapping devices.
It was available in 1992 for a price of US$ 295 [1]. Three years later, in
1995, the price had meanwhile increased to US$ 495 [2].
The device shown here was used in the 1990s by members of the
Contra Observation Team (COT), a group of highly
skilled hobbyists in The Netherlands,
who monitored the police frequencies,
built covert listening devices (bugs),
vehicle tracking devices,
secure communication equipment,
and practiced phone phreaking.
For a while, they were under police surveillance, which us why they wanted
to check their rooms and telephone lines frequently for bugs.
