I haven't got Shadowtech on me, but from what I can remember, the fist
number is the target number for a cop to 'react' to the item. ie the lower
the number, the more likely to draw heat.

The P part means that you can get a permit (legally or otherwise (10% of
item's cost)) to carry the weapon

The E part, is the category the 'item' belongs to. Mainly important for
determining how long you'll be in jail for, as the sentence is dependant
on the category. Basically useless without the correct sourcebook.

Can anyone else correct or add anything?

Thanx. I would try to get this book. I think, this code vary from plex to
plex, and I think, that this code is more important. I've got the Denver
Sourcebook, and this contains the penalties the most common crimes.

The last bit (after the dash) indicates the category into which owning or
using the equipment falls. For example, E3 is "Class C Equipment" --
military grade electronics and security equipment. This sets the typical
fines and/or jail sentences you will receive if the cops catch you with
the equipment.

The first number is the TN for those cops to decide whether or not to
hassle you about it; they roll a Police Procedures test with this number
as the TN. Any successes and they will attempt to arrest you for
possession/transporation/use/etc. of the item.

The P in your example indicates that a permit is available to the general
public for the item. Items without a P can be had only on a special
permit available to law enforcement agencies.
