peter petrov I feel the same way he’s like 8 years older than me 😂

I know this is an older video, but I have a small correction: The DP-5V has a J-FET automatic voltage adjustment. It does not need you to adjust the HV, it does that by itself.

AA batteries worked fine for me, I made removable "sleeves" for them out of paper towel and some electrical tape (to stop them from moving around). The detector works great. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for explaining the two tubes that change depending on the setting, I have one of these and that makes the readings make a lot more sense

No worries, it's basically always the higher reading tube for gamma, beta and gamma is the more sensitive tube.

I've gone thru the manuals that came with it, and mine was serviced as recently as 2013 before it was retired from military use. The booklet with the serial number written on the top right corner is in fact the service and repair manual, and it even shows the date the device was constructed and accepted for service.

Kinda amusing watching as I collect industry survey meters such as Ludlum, Bicron, Berthold, and Eberline. Soon hopefully a Ram Ion chamber. Although military survey meters tend to to higher then industry. The most I can go is on my Bicron ion chamber being close to 50 R/Hr.

Very interesting, let me know if you ever make videos on them, would love to see them. Got some very interesting counters recently. "Ratemeter Type RM5/1" seems to be a very unknown British MOD Geiger or Scintillation unit, you plug the probe in. On UK eBay they are being listed in bulk atm for an amazingly cheap £22, so I bought two. Has an amazing 5K CPS capacity unlike my Mini Monitor that maxes at 2K CPS which is around 1 mSv on CS-137

not great not bad

I bought one of these via Etsy a few days ago and now waiting for it to show up in the mail. I've noticed there are at least two different versions of this same model of detector. Mine has a black selector knob, and the probe doesn't have those green bits like on yours. Other than those two differences, the rest of it looks exactly the same. These can be had for under $150 for the whole set like yours with the wooden box, and some even come with a handy extender wand that holds the probe to get it into hard to reach areas.

Nice counter man. I've got the exact one too.

You'll be fine

I modified my dp5v to detect beta radiation on the higher level tube instead of only gamma

Is it worth getting one if seller says control source B-8 is gone what I believe that means is one out of two control radioactive materials is gone because old soviet dosimeters like this had little radioactive elements in them so they wouldn't need calibration and they would know radiation levels by checking with those radioactive sources so its pretty cheap like 40 euros so like 34 pounds

@Weaponsandstuff93

Yes other than the battery issue, if you want a retro geiger, not something modern like a Terra P

Question: When it was originally used, do you know if the operators using it actually cared if it was Beta or Gamma? Or did they just go, oh radiation, best not stick around here...?

@@dwavenminer well the point of the beta window is to allow low energy gamma and beta otherwise the tube would be just high gamma. Also you can use to beta window to get a idea of what the contaminant actually is, without a spectroscopy kit. Certain fallout contaminants will produce primary gamma plus beta. Gamma being primary hazard, beta being secondary.

Exactly how radioactive is the british compass?

I got such but unfortunately it died when it met a strontium90 check source when i tested it..:( I replaced the batteries, the meter says that the batteries are fully ok but it is dead. Thats life i Guess...

Personally if you want one for practical use and not collecting I'd advise the Terra P, my favourite of all my counters, digital, takes AAA batteries and can measure from tiny to doomsday radiation levels. It measures beta and gamma, alpha radiation requires specialist detectors.

Hey so, 2 CoronaVirus questions: 1. When should I, for sure, no going back, buy a gas mask? I am referring to soviet ones where they're cheap, the stock is always there, and the filters can be adapted. 2. Do you think we shouldn't buy any projective equipment from China, due to the disease coming from there? I know that this is off topic from this video, I originally tried to ask these questions in a stream, but they're crowded these days and every time I tried to say something, I got buried.
