Surprised you didn't mention the Stetzerizer meter & filters.  Or Greenwave.  These seem to be the most common meters & filters  for dirty electricity.

I have an AlphaLab meter as well, but that seems not useful at all.  Unless I got a bad copy of it, it always reads about the same, no matter what nasty thing I plug into the outlet next to it.  While the Stetzerizer meter and an AM radio show clear differences.

We had someone on the Facebook group who tried virtually everything out there for his sensitivity to dirty electricity, and I believe it was only the DNA filters that actually helped his symptoms.

Yes, he tested the SineTamer, and returned it.

He returned it because it did not help his symptoms sufficiently.  I don't recall if it didn't help at all, or merely not enough.

The DNA filter on the on the other hand did help enough for him to keep it.

You also need a pretty good oscilloscope if you want to measure up to 30 MHz or higher.  Maybe 150 million samples per second for 30 MHz.

I have not tried it yet, but I've been told by an engineer that it's possible to measure high frequency noise on a 120V circuit through a high pass filter, followed by an envelope detector.

You would connect the top left part of a circuit like this to the noisy wire, then connect the resistor to an electrical ground:

Then you'd connect the right side of the capacitor to something like this:

(I think the outer part of the BNC connectors can also be connected to the same ground.)

...and finally connect the output of that (which is converted to DC) to a multimeter.

the stetzer meters are designed to show that the stetzer filters work.

to copy an old post :

this guy Conrad mentions these filters in his scam-list :
http://www.conradbiologic.com/articles/EMFscams.html
we all get scammed once in a while.
aside from these bad results, Charles stated that using more than five filters can create unhealthy resonances.
also worth reading :
http://www.emfrelief.com/capacitive-filters.html
"So a capacitor filter, by whatever name, will Not make your electricity cleaner, but dirtier."  ( ...) !

"I have an AlphaLab meter as well, but that seems not useful at all.  Unless I got a bad copy of it, it always reads about the same, no matter what nasty thing I plug into the outlet next to it."
i had an AlphaLab meter ( it disappeared somehow ) too and it showed clearly much higher readings as a result of using switching mode power supplies, e.g. from a pc.
so it seems that indeed you have the bad luck to have bad copy.
