No the Trifield is nowhere near sensitive enough. The specs for it say
it starts detecting microwaves at 6 V/m which you may notice is at the
top of the Acoustimeter's scale. Gotta be practically on top of the
transmitter to measure that high.

I can pick up wifi on the Acoustimeter, and even the Cornet, although
only at much smaller distances. The most sensitive way to detect wifi is
with the Canary Hotspotter, or with a computer, like you are already
doing. You can pick up 10 signals, that is a lot for the sensitive, but
not very many in urban places.

Just be careful to not transmit yourself, or it will compound the
problem you are experiencing.

Take care,
Stewart

I have more on my page, if you havn't already found it.

ps. I'm almost ready to announce the EMR DVD I have been working on. The
link is next to the bottom of the page, if you're interested.

Move, or get better.  :-)

For comparison, I now pickup 24 local wi-fi signals from my house.
But I do live in the city...

A laptop computer will give you an indication of how strong these
signals are, either with 1-5 "bars", or the software I'm using
shows the signals in "dB".

Hi Marc

What software do you use that displays the signal in dB?

Thanks

It's the software that came with my external USB wi-fi modem,
manufactured/sold by TP-LINK.

For those that need to use wi-fi while on a trip, the best
way to do that is to have an external USB modem and a long
USB extension cord, keeping the wi-fi signals away from
you.

If the neighbors are friendly, suggest they look into
turning down the signal strength... it should improve their
security and reduce chances of them having bioeffects.
It was reported on this group that a computer turned from 10 to 1
did not hurt Wi-Fi functionality but did reduce symptoms.
In most cases it is not obvious how to adjust this setting, so
be patient.

A foil barrier may be worth trying though I've not heard
of actual success with this.  Putting some foil over the
antenna in a ball may have similar effect as reducing signal
strength.
