They just put a cell tower not far from my house. Will this work to detect cell radiation levels in my home?

yes, this is the best equipment to measure the signal level from cell tower radiation. I guess signal level will definitely high. I suggest you to collect signature for the nearby people & submit this request to your MP to remove the cell tower or move your house. Good luck!

Cell tower radiation may have higher frequency than the upper frequency limit of this meter, if this is the case, the reading would be lower than actual radiation intensity. If the cell tower frequency is lower than 3.5GHz, you could use it. You would need to contact the cell tower owner to know it's frequecy first.

It will detect the radiation emitted by radon gas, but it is not, per se, a radon gas detector. There are detectors sold which are used for a few hours up to a few weeks that you set out, then send in to get a radon level count. I'm sure those would prove far more useful if that is your goal.

I do not know for sure. I would think NOT. Cell phones pick up cell tower transmissions. The iTrip transmits your standard FM radio frequencies in the range of 88 to 107. I will say the iTrip was a total waste of money and was a piece of junk!!!

I would think so. Probably just an updated version. As as it's hardwired with the other house detectors, no problem

No...it will not pick up and boost the signal. I am only 3 miles from the tower with a small ridge between us and it won't boost the signal.

I had it inside on the first floor testing, it worked but the signal strength was greatly impacted. But my closest tower is about 35 miles away also, being on the second floor will help but you will more than likely be better off if you can get it in the attic at minimum.

No. The CellSensor detects the 'field strenght' (for health) as opposed to the 'signal message'. You'd be beter off with a WiFi sniffer for that use.

I don't think so. For one thing the radiation administered is very low & short acting, second, the Radex is designed to detect gamma & beta radiation as per the manual that should have come with your unit.It will measure in both micro sieverts/h or sv/h & micro rems/Rem/h of radiation. While the dose is high enough to affect the cancer into which it's injected, it's not high enough to affect adjacent normal cells as it only penetrates about 11 mm.

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

It should be good for both power lines & cell towers. I don't know anything about the Trifield 100. If you are ignorant of all this, best to find someone on the internet who can help you learn how to read this meter, which can be tricky, as there are several scales of measurement and you need to know what is too much radiation on each of these scales.

It did not work at my house. We have an outside antenna and live 80 miles from the broadcast tower.

Yes, these devices measure the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, cell towers, and depending on the range of the device, power line radiation. However, the inexpensive models are not very accurate. If you are experiencing EMF sensitivities, then you should search for a more professional meter.

i have this model, there is no cell tower close to my house and it works, I get good signal in the house. see http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/270960-at-t-micro-cell-device-m-n-dph153-at-thumbs-up-for-cell-signal-boostIf this doesn't answer your question, specify details needed.

Personally I did not find it capable of detecting frequencies in the MHz itself let alone GHz range of wifi. It is best for detecting ELF such as power lines and microwaves, but that's about it.

Mine was installed near the ceiling and it worked fine to detect CO from an old stove's pilot light that malfunctioned and turned itself off. My apartment was slowly filling with gas that I only faintly smelled when entering. I believe I had the First Alert brand, but I'm sure they all work the same.

It depends on the placement of the device. It has a pretty good range - I ised it so that the nurse could be alerted

if you have metal siding, no. otherwise yes, but it will work only as well (maybe slightly better) as the antenna that sticks up from the back of any base station type scanner. However, if you have a multi-story home, placing this upstairs while having your scanner downstairs should help reception.
