Do you recommend this device to measure the effectiveness of some materials that claim to absorb radiation coming out of cell phones & wifi routers?

This one is the cheapest meters to detect cell phone and microwave radiation. Technology Alternatives 7021 Cell Sensor EMF Detection MeterCell Sensor EMF Detection Meter

No. This is only to find electromagnetic radiation from electricity running through wire. Like overhead power lines. You need a microwave radiation detector for wifi and cell phones. Like this one: Hf35c Rf Analyze (800mhz - 2.5 Ghz) - Perfect for Smart Meters Detection

This is a quick way to measure the release of radio waves. I put it by my phone and was amazed how much was being released when my phone was syncing. Now I use a speaker and keep my phone away from me. It is a great investment. If they claim to block the frequency this will tell you how much by testing before and after. I tested lights, digital clocks, my phone, and the meter outside. Now I try and reduce my exposure by staying away from these items or not having anything close to my body. Worth the price.

Try the Acoustimeter or the Acousticom 2 which measure microwave frequencies in the 200MHz to 8 GHz range. It tells you the amount of radiation from cell phones, iPads, wifi, bluetooth, game consoles as well as Smart Meters.

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).

Yes, this meter will detect all three forms of radiation - alpha & beta particles, and gamma rays. Using the meter, you should be able to detect elevated levels of radiation if placed near the fish (not through glass). Please note, there is background radiation everywhere (your home, car, outside, work, neighborhood park, etc) so just because it clicks and registers, doesn't mean harmful levels of radiation are present. You must determine what levels are unsafe for you/your family based on scientific dosage guidelines.

I would not even consider trusting it for that purpose. I'm sure there are more job specific tools to measure the amount of radiation emitted by an x-ray machine. In a situation of an extreme emergency or disaster I might put it to the "Test". But otherwise I would not attempt it.

This unit is very sensitive. I would think it would be most useful for testing cell phones or any other electric or electronic device.

It measures electrical leakage from electrical devices. This shows bad connections or poorly designed products.

I don't know about wifi radiation, but it certainly sells as an EMF shield. Laptops can emit harmful amounts of radiation, up to 50x recommended safe levels.

The same type of radiation comes from the wireless antennas on tablet devices and laptops so I would say "Yes" that it would work the same way.

No. To measure cell tower signals (which broadcast in microwave radio frequency band) you need an RF meter also called an acoustimeter. For measuring dirty energy spikes from smart meters you need a "dirty power meter"--they actually plug into a wall.

Hi, it will read radiation from any source. If your smart meter done well, it should be zero

Yes, WiFi uses EMF to accomplish the wireless communication. While this device will not harm any equipment, it will eliminate the EMF used by the router, thereby disabling WiFi. If you have this device and your WiFi, cell phone, and radios are working, then it is not effective.

RF Radiation from cell phones -- yes if the unit is in close proximity (a few inches). It will detect the magnetic fields and electrical fields from a laptop (again in close proximity). Wireless mice and keyboards -- probably not. This unit shines at detecting magnetic fields and electrical fields. It also is handy for detecting leaks from a microwave oven.

yes, it will detect radiation from x-rays. also, it will detect radiation from construction site those soil compact tester (yellow box).

I recommend the Trifield 100XE EMF Meter for those sort of readings. It's cheaper, accurate, and easy to use. The extech is best if you want to measure radiation from cell towers etc.

Holly, this is a field technicians, consumer grade, instrument designed to detect radiation. By design, it measures a very small percentage of the radioactive particles emitted by a test material. To get a precise measurement of the total radiation given off by a material the material would have to be sent to a lab and tested under controlled conditions. This said, my Radex detector has been the only means I have of removing radioactive liquids and foods from my diet. Last year, before I realized my food supply was contaminated with radiation, I was in constant pain and my feet were so swollen I couldn't get my shoes on. My Thyroid gland almost shut down I my doctors just gave me pain medication without trying to find the cause of my medical problems. I had purchased my Radex detector, I believe, in 2011 but never used it. Frustrated by not getting answers from my doctors I started looking for the cause of my medical problems myself. Within 24 hours after removing all the contaminated food stuffs from my home the swelling in my feet for the first time in months went down to the point I could put my shoes on again. In three weeks my Thyroid gland started to function again. It's been almost six months now and I am still pain free. I have made checking my food supply with my Radex a routine.

It was actually adopted by ghost hunters. Its original purpose was an electromagnetic field meter. I hold it next to electronics or appliances and read the EMf level.
