The firmware on the GQ GMC line is updatable, the latest update adds fast estimate reading, and raises the max CPM (it was 65k CPM, as well as the other measurements). With fast estimate reading set to 5 seconds it will no longer take minutes to count up and stabilize, it'll be over in seconds.

The basic goal is to chart the local aerea for hotspots that might have a nuclear source hidden. A combination of GPS coordinates and a mobile (Bluetooth) radiation detector that can combine the data (On the Go) into a map with all the values in color on it. This way you get a very good insight in what is dangerous to be near or not. Avoiding years and years of 2 microsieverts exposure is a must. It is waiting for that iPhone that has this tiny tube (or dedicated chip) built in.

Thanks for posting this. I just got this, and of course since I ordered from Amazon, I was sent someone's return. Luckily it seems to be working okay. I think someone just didn't know how to use it.

I was considering of buying it on Amazon but wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Now I’ll definitely buy it! Thank you for the video! 👍

Well I admit it sounds like advertising but believe me it’s not. After discovering that some of the stuff in every day life might be radioactive it just made me freak out. So I check if on Amazon there was any Geiger counter at a reasonable price... after finding this one I started doing some research to see if it’s actually a junk or it’s ok for what I need, which is to check my older dishes/cups or house walls etc... I found this video which explains nicely how it works and that it works ok so it convinced me to buy it. :) I am not even from the field. Sorry for making you more confusing about the Geiger counter. I perfectly understand you. 😅 That is why I wrote the comment in the way I wrote it... because I said ... ah wtf... I’m gonna try it and see how it works. Well good news. I bought it and except for the background radiation nothing else seems be radioactive in my house. ☢️ 😅 Then I thought ... well now that I know everything is ok I could also return it... but I kept it. Will keep it in my box and once in a while will try it on new stuff or maybe on some rocks... 😅

I’ve had a GMC-300 for some years with excellent performance.

The Fiestaware was not dangerous to eat off of. The uranium oxide is dissolved in the glass glaze and does not get into the food. If you stored something strongly acidic in the bowl over a period of time some of the glaze might dissolve. If it did you would find the surface would no longer be shiny, but storing acidic materials is not something you would typically do with dinner ware.

@xygomorphic44

The danger from fiestaware's radioactivity was overblown. The radioactive decay is so low and several orders of magnitude lower than what is required to harm or kill you. If there ever was a danger, it was from the heavy metal toxicity, because Uranium is about as chemically toxic as lead. So if you somehow accidentally dissolve massive qualities of uranium into a solution that your body can absorb (because eating it in its metallic form will just pass through your body) and drink this solution over and over again, it would chemically poison you to death long before you felt the affects from the radiation.

I need something that can pick up alpha beta gamma and x-ray as well. What is a good unit for these?

Holy crap I've been using fiesta wear plates since I was little. I still have my grandmom's dishes. I was going to get one of these meters for the new smart meter Xcel energy is going to install, now I have to get it for my dishes.

i just bought a 500+ version mine had none od the stickers on the manual or box like yours. It was a total pain in the ass to get it online and im getting normal between 0.02 and 0.24. left it on for the past day and a half and its come down significantly. Can i ask why is it that the levels fluctuate so much, airflow? would of loved a soecks one but they are too pricey here in aus.

Dosimeters measure radiation from nuclear decay, mostly in micro-Sv/h. You should get a dosimeter for radiation measurement such as beta-particle decay, background radiation, ... EMF meters measure electromagnetic waves, which has nothing to do with radiation. They won't do a thing near uranium.

At about 49 seconds into the video you mentioned that you planned to publish some sort of info about ion detectors, (possible drawbacks of that method of detection?). I searched your channel for that video, but can't seem to find it. Maybe I was using the wrong search criteria? Anyway, I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say in that video. If you could point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful. 😁

how did it go any update of what you used it and readings??

You have very low background radiation. I keep my Terra-P + Geiger counter next to my computer, so I can keep an eye on the readings all the time. It usually reads 0.17 micro sieverts. The lowest reading I've had here is about 0.10 micro sieverts and the highest was a spike of around 0.36 micro sieverts. The lowest reading I've had is out on a highway, when it was reading 0.7 micro sieverts. I think the alarm goes off if it gets up to about 0.22 micro sieverts. I keep a list of alarm times. Over the past few weeks, there have been about four or five spikes of around 0.30+ micro sieverts.

I know it's got to be some serious radiation to cause the counter to move. I have my alarm set at 35 where I live and I've only hit that number 4x since I turned the GQ GMC 500+ on 4 days ago. I tested a gutter that burned my foot, a desk I know sat through Fukushima and WIPP radiation, and a shelf and came up with nothing. In all instances when background CPM hit 35 (max 41), I tasted metal in the air. The metal is dangerous. I called the state representative, assembly men, EPA, and water company about it back then. EPA hung up on me and gave me the run around on the phone when I tried to get the radiation standards lowered for water. ... Does your counter go up when cars drive by?

Anyone else here after watching the show Chernobyl? 😂

you cant actually test these geiger counter this way as these counters are not made to give a dose rate reading at the contact : the geometry of the geiger tube isnt at all made to give an accurate measure this way. These geiger counter are made mostly to measure the ambiant radiation level and also to detect radioactivity of an object and tell wether or not its radioactivity is high or low. . The dose rate read at the contact is always inaccurate and a very rough estimate . At 10-20cm it improves as the field of radiation becomes more even. Keep that in mind when you buy these geiger counters for the public.

You should relabel it as "Inexpensive" since nothing about is cheap.

Is SOEKS=Russian made one better ?

It goes clickity click I want it!

None of those readings are actually alarming regardless of the alarms 😆. But if you did grind that up and eat it it would only be 87mSv per year. But you would poop most of it out in 24 hrs and what would be left would be mostly negligible. Radium is the one to watch out for it likes to replace calcium. That said not all the radium girls did end up with cancer and they ingested insane amounts. The danger of radiation is very hyped and I would eat vegetables grown in Fukushima, I would live there, I would drink treated water from the holding pond. Remember burnt food, wd40, Bondo, super glue, and inner tubes all cause cancer. The odd of getting cancer in Fukushima are less than that of dieing in the needlessly stressful evacuation proceedings.
