Do you think it is safe to order a meter on ebay? I can save a hundred bucks in doing so but a little apprehensive. Says the meter is new but my daughter ordered a camera that said it was new and it was not.

I am thinking about eby too. You risk it not working Read the sellers terms. Do they offer money back w/n a reasonable time after receiving? At least 7 days. We got an oscilloscope our 1st buy for our son. It works. Understand you can test electric, but have to calculate. Kathy [hidden email] wrote: ] Meters on Ebay?

If the seller has 100% positive feedback, it might be okay... also if there is
a photo showing the current condition of the meter. I buy stuff on eBay all the time, but it is rather "hit and miss" with regard to you receiving what you were expecting to receive!

Hallo Loni,
it is not wise to buy a meter from e-bay. Especially for a person who does not know about meters, frequencies, fields etc. One has to knwo what to measure, and how it should be done. I you want ot measure megnatical AC fields for instance, most meters are 1D. Then you must measure the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis. Those values must be raised to a higher power. And then added togehter. Out of this addition you must extract the root in order to find the exact magnetical field strength. Of course there are 3D Tesla or Gauss meters, but they do cost more. It is best to buy from a shop, where they have several different meters, and where they can ezxplain to you the advanatges and disadvantages of several meters. I you just buy a meter, you may make grave mistakes, because you do not know what you are measuring. and what the limits of your meter are.

Hallo Charles!
I was looking at the TES 593 on Ebay. It is a 8GZ RF Meter. I'd love to go to a shop that has meters but don't know that one exists here where I live?

Hello Loni,
they claim a lot, but I wonder if they fulfill what you want. I have a test report of the TES92, so you can see what quality they make, and what you can expect. Because I cannot attach files in this list, I send it to you.

Hi Charles!
So do you think this one is similar. I guess it's made by the same company. What do you use Charles to measure RF including cell antennas, cordless phones, wifi, wireless alarm systems, baby monitors etc?

I have a meter that I bought from lessemf.com
http://www.lessemf.com/rf.html Mine is similar to the 3 axis RF. It works for everything up to 3Ghz. You need to calibrate it, but it's really sensitive. They have other ones too, some less expensive and that also go up to 8 Ghz. --- In [hidden email], Loni <loni326@...> wrote: > > Hi Charles! >  > So do you think this one is similar.

Yes, it has been accurate, and really educational. I just used it to test our local school. I'll post that next.
