Aperiodic radio receiver - this page is a stub

The AN/PRR-4 was an aperiodic radio receiver, developed in the US in the early 1950s and used from 1951 onwards as a countermeasures receiver for finding bugs in the GHz range, such as the Great Seal Bug (a.k.a. The Thing), planted by the Soviets in the office of the US Ambassador in Moscow on 4 August 1945 and discovered by the US State Department on 12 September 1952.

Currently, no further information about the PRR-4 is available to us.
