Regarding the $199 'electrosmog meter' versus the Gigahertz Solutions meter:
I have not had a chance to fill out your spread sheet Tom, but let me say that I've used both this meter and the GS one. The GS one is clearly more useful because of the directionality and sound. But the other one is virtually as sensitive and because you can use it in mV/m mode maybe even more so (although the meter is not reliable down there, one can see differences sometimes; the display goes down to .1 mV/m but due to internal noise I've never seen it below 9 mV/m.). Also, the max feature is very helpful, and the alarm feature is great. For shielding work the directionality and the sound are a real plus. For everyday monitoring the cheaper meter is actually better because it can be carried in a pocket (though it will stick out). I've also dropped it and it's fine. Note also it responds down to 50MHz so one must realize that the person holding it can act like an antenna at some frequencies and so a tripod is recommended for serious measurements.

So, Bill, overall marks out of 10 for each meter?

They both get thumbs up! I would also recommend the 'electrosmog detector'
$85 at lessemf EXCEPT that mine only lasted a few months. First the speaker blew (and lessemf was not very helpful about it). So I used the external jack. But carrying it around a lot the jack input could not take the stress and hardly works now. Still a helpful tool, but if you can afford the $200 I'd go for the meter. And I think everyone should have the $200 one. It's just so useful when you leave the house: choose a restaurant, choose which table, start conversations. Compare readings to the bioIniitiave proposed limit. The Gigahertz solution directional is more impressive looking, more useful, but less portable and more expensive. Almost essential for shielding projects. And the extended range one (which I have not tried) is probably even better. Of course a gauss meter or buzz stick is also a must.

Your recommendations are not based on facts.
There are much more meters available to choose from. And the choice should be based on what you expect to measure. So, first you should determine that. What exactly do you want to measure.? For what purpose? Many meters are described in detail in many issues of *het bitje*.

Agreed I've only tried a few... and these are ones that happen to
easy to obtain here in the US. I should have also mentioned the "HF detector" which is very compact and perhaps a better choice than the "electrosmog detector".

That assumption is also not based on facts.
It all depends on what you want to measure. And where you place the emphasis. It is not a matter of price. Point is, that you must first determine what you want to know, and why. Only then, one can make a choice. The all-in-one meter does not exist. And meters can easily be obtained from ouside of the USA. The land of the meters is Germany.
