Hi folks, me again to pick your ever helpful brains.
trying to get my head around doing RF surveys in and around the house, I started off simply placing the device on strategic landmarks in the house at different times each day, e.g. mantle piece - bedroom side table - bathroom cabinet etc. and got very low consistent and pleasing readings, however I did noting while moving the meter around the readings would fluctuate up and down, so I took to staying relatively central to the room (small rooms) and slowly rotating my whole body while holding the meter in the same hand at the same height, now I can see readings from 0.02 right up to 0.1 mw/m2 (average) so my logic was to use this method and go with the highest reading since that level was present in the room upon detection, yet I’ve read a guide online that says to remain still, what do you recommend? Also I’m unsure if I should be reading peak or average? It’s a bit confusing, sometimes I’ve seen peaks of 15.55mw/m2 with an average displayed at the same time of 0.045 and on other occasions I’ve seen a peak of 0.18mw/m2 with an accompanying average of 0.085, you would think they would at least go up and down together if I go with average I feel I should be relatively ok yet if I read some of the peaks I feel not so sure, I must mention the very high peaks are not average peaks (if that makes sense) and just flash up on the screen intermittently, another reason I chose to read average was it was the most stable number whereas peak never remained still and I didn’t feel comfortable declaring the RF levels in my house and 15.55mw/m2 when it just flashed up as a one off not to be repeated. since in using the bioinitiative report as my benchmark, what values did they use, peak or average? Bearing in mind im specifically concerned with digital RF radiation Your thought and input is much appreciated Regards J king |
Hello
1.When I measure in a specific place, I try to stay still for couple of seconds. 2. When the readings fluctuate I usually write down the max, min and the level that the meter showed most of the time. 3. If I am moving with the meter, it is so I can scan the house/room/office. When scanning I search for the hot spots, sources and penetration points. I don't care for the exact reading, just using the meter to see if the radiation level is going up (it means I am getting close to the hot spot, penetration point or the source) or if it going down (in case I am walking a way from the hot spot, penetration point or the source). 4. If you hold the meter and then rotate with you body, usually when the meter will show the highest levels , the meter will point in the general direction from where the radiation is coming from. 5. I usually pay attention mostly to the peak levels. I use the Average level for guessing what is the duty cycle percentage of the main signal that I am currently measuring. For example, in case that the RF radiation is coming from a cellular tower across the street, the peak level will show 10mW/m2 and the average will show 8mW/m2. In case the main signal is WIFI, or DECT, or other modern wireless device, the peak level will show 10mW/m2 and the average will show 0.008mW/m2. 6. Regarding the possible biological effect of RF radiation I think that also low duty cycle signals, like for example WIFI, have the ability to effect and disturber biological systems. These effects can result into health issues. Therefor I don't take lightly the possible health effect that can be caused by low duty cycle signals. I actually look at law duty cycle signals at the same severity as high duty cycle signals.

Thanks for the advice, your most helpful, I notice I'm using the reader you recommended on your website which is handy, I watched your YouTube videos over Christmas too, better than what was on the telly at the time:)
