Hi folks,
We are also using this electrosmog reader (the one with the very comical-looking bright yellow nose) and find it that is very tricky to take readings. As it seems to be so sensitive to being held, is a more accurate reading done with a tripod, or set on top of a stable surface? We've tried both and sometimes the variance between the two is huge. Which is more accurate? Another question we have about the device are the bars that appear below the reading, usually when it spikes for one reason or another. The manual refers to this as the dynamic range, but the technical writing that follows isall very Greek to me. We are taking our readings in milli or micro W per M squared, as most of the literature seems to use this or CM squared, not V/M. I'm not a math guy, so I trust the device to convert the readings for me better than I would myself. Edo |
The bars on the bottom are just supposed to act like an
analog display... in case the radiation is too high for you to process the numbers mentally I guess. That feature is not useful at low levels. A non metal tri-pod should be the best, and a non metal table should be the same. I sometimes dangle it from the wrist strap. My impression is for microwaves you get the same value holding it in hand, but at lower frequencies the body acts like an antenna and will exaggerate.

Thanks Bill,
I'm taking readings now by setting it on a neutral surface and holding thatup and the readings seem to be more accurate now. Say, a book or the metercase.
