listening or monitoring Explanation: Ferretti, WB der Elektronik, Datentechnik & Telekommunikation lists "monitoring" and "radio monitoring". Also "eavesdrop" (listening secretly), "tap", "bug". Ernst lists the following: Abhörbarkeit f (Fernm) / listening possibility Abhörbox, Mischkabine f (Film, Radio) / control o. listening box o. booth Abhörbox (fahrbar) (Film) / travelling box Abhöreinrichtung, Mithöreinrichtung f (Fernm) / monitor Abhörempfang m, Abhören n (Telegraph) / aural reception abhören, mithören (Elektronik, Fernm, TV) / listen, monitor Abhören n (Tonaufzeichn) / playback Abhören, Mithören n (Fernm) / monitoring Abhören n (Diktiergerät) / review control [unbefugtes] Abhören (Fernm) / wire tapping Gespräche abhören, Leitung ''anzapfen'' (Fernm) / tap Abhörer, Horcher m (Fernm) / snoop[er] Abhörgerät n (Elektronik) / check o. monitoring receiver I would use "listening" or "monitoring" unless it's very clear from your context that this is a wire tap, i.e. clandestine listening, and the examples you quote don't necessarily support that. HTH! Ferretti, WB der Elektronik, Datentechnik & Telekommunikation, 2nd ed. Ernst, WB der industriellen Technik |

eavesdropping/bugging Explanation: Just as an alternative and this really depends on your context, ie. Abhoervorrichtung: eavesdropping device, bugging device, surreptitious listening device (This probably would pertain more to police equipment or similar). Good luck! |
