Intercept receivers
During the Cold War, the USSR (Russia) developed a series of miniature
portable intercept receivers that were designed to be worn inconspicuously
on the chest of the operator.
They were used to intercept (clandestine) communication, locate foreign
agents (radio direction finding, RDF) and for surveillance.
Most of these receivers were designed to be used in
close proximity of the transmitter.
In addition to the portable receivers, they developed a series of
high-performance stationary communication receivers and radio direction
finders (RDF or DF). The receivers below are covered on this website.

Soyka was a compact versatile body-wearable intercept receiver for the
HF-bands between 700 kHz and 30 MHz, divided over 10 ranges. For each range
it has a plug-in coil unit. Furthermore, two wide-band (non-selective)
plug-ins were supplied.
Soyka was deployed in Russia and some other Warsaw Pact countries,
and came in a compact suitcase, together with many accessories.

Around 1970, the Russians developed a series of miniature portable
intercept receivers that were capable of intercepting VHF/UHF
AM/FM radio signals in close proximity of the transmitter.
There were three models that together
cover a frequency range from 24 to 308 MHz.
Filin was used extensively by the Secret Police (Stasi) of the former DDR
(East-Germany), who also made some modifications to the unit.

Sinitsa was by far the most advanced portable intercept radio made by
the Russians. It covers all frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 GHz,
divided over 13 ranges and is even capable of intercepting
surveillance radios with frequency hopping (FH).
The aperiodic receiver comes in a suitcase with a large number of plug-ins
and accessories. It can even be used for unmanned monitoring by linking it
to a telephone line.
