  I own a Mason A-3B.  It's a suitcase receiver with built in spectrum analyzer. The whole thing runs on 14 small flashlight batteries.  Coverage is from DC to daylight (10 Khz to 1 GHz).  Sensitivity is quite good since it was made to receive with small antennas.  It will overload easily however with normal antennas.  The A-3B seems to have been designed with special emphasis on looking for bugs on FM subcarrier frequencies since there is a special LF receiver included for that purpose.  It was sold with some other surplus items from a location in Virginia.  I expect it came from the CIA or NSA.

  Hey guys

  I can't find anything in Osterman or Googling...
  Anyone have more info on it?  Doesn't  look that sensitive and I wonder why info is so scarce?

  It's at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5743380351&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
  over in the boot country.
  tnx
