What's the best fit meter to measure EMF inside my home?

[Guest guest]

I've been researching meters for a while now, and though I've changed a

lot in my home, I still seem to be having a lot of symptoms when

inside. So, it's time to shell out the money and buy a meter. (I'd

really like to stay around or below $150.00 though) My question is

which meter is the best fit to measure all of the stuff I'm being hit

with inside my house? I want to be able to test strength of EMF from

things like appliances, lights, wiring, electronics, etc. Basically, I

want to figure out what's still too strong for me and my family to get

close to. I'm considering the Tri-Field Meter or the Electrosmog meter

and I like that the Tri-Field meter shows a visual reading, not just

audible. I think seeing it may help my husband get more on board with

all the shielding and such. But, I don't know which is better suited

to finding everything in my indoor environment, or if there is a better

suited meter. I'd like to test inside my car too, but finding all the

frequency's inside the house is most important right now. Thanks so

much in advance for any and all suggestions and advice!!!

There is not one meter which can do it all. The Trifield meter is a good

choice for electric and magnetic fields because it is low cost and 3 axis.

The Electrosmog Meter (Electrosmog Detector is different, it has sound only)

is a good choice for RF because it is also low cost, and offers a wide

frequency range and high sensitivity. Yes, there are better meters, and yes,

there are cheaper meters, but these two used together will cover most

everything you are likely to encounter at home... without breaking the bank.

So the electrosmog does not tell you how high the RF is then correct if it is

only sound. What is a good RF meter that would measure how high it is in your

home? I have sooooo many cell antennas in the area right out my back window.

Emil recommended the Trifield. There are different models. Get the

best/most expensive one. The low end model is all but worthless. It

pretty much lets you know where 60 Hz magnetic fields are, and nothing more.

It's especially unable to note communications frequencies. In an

area of Milwaukee where there is a " tower farm " of several tv and radio

broadcast

towers, where the Electrosmog Detecter sounds like 6 buzzsaws, the needle on

the low-end Trifield barely jiggles.

(If you want to hear what the Detector did there, listen to the sound

clip in the radio program I was on, found on the resources page of

www.LifeEnergies.com/. The Detector may " only " make sound, but it is very

illustrative

and will alert you to harmful communications signals at a very reasonable

price.)

The Trifield measures more than just 60 Hz. Including

the low end model, but you may as well get the 100XE.

Try to ignore the gibberish that states otherwise.

In a house 60 Hz is dominant. But when measuring a car

the Trifield clearly detects other frequencies besides 60 Hz

when measuring magnetic fields.

If it's been said once it's been said a thousand times

you'll need at least two meters, a gauss/electric field

meter and a high frequecy meter.

" Trifield meters are useful, but it's important to be aware of their

sensitivity to high frequencies when trying to determine ELF levels,

and of the fact that standard Trifields, unlike most gaussmeters, are

frequency-weighted. Higher frequencies read as higher magnetic fields.

So a 120 Hz field will read twice as high as a 60 Hz field, a 180 Hz

field three times too high, etc., and they have significant

sensitivity as high as 100 kHz, and some residual sensitivity to 100

MHz – on the magnetic, not radio/microwave setting. This can result in

wildly high readings if they're interpreted as ELF when higher

frequencies are present (like near the floorboards of cars with

electronic ignitions, which include many more vehicles than just the

Prius and other hybrids). "
