Re: beginner EMF meter recommendation?

Hi Tamara,

at lessEMF, to see if they can recommend a less than $50 meter to help me

satisfy my curiosity, but their recommendations are $150-$200,

Basic fact is there are many different kinds of meters, to measure many

different kinds of fields. And the cheap meters give cheap results, or

cover a limited spectrum.

It is not possible to check everything on a small budget. But I would

say the Cornet ED-85 for EMF, plus one simple Gauss Master meter, would

give the most bang for the buck.

There are rental programs, although I make so much use out of my meters,

I can't imagine only using one for a couple days. There is always

something New to learn, new equipment, new locations...

Check out my webpage, it should help.

I do appreciate your explanation, as well as the link to your site where I can

learn more. Thank you very much!

The following are not necessarily accurate meters, but they suit their purpose

in comparison to more expensive meters:

1. Cornet for RF (looks like lessemf.com no longer sells the ED85, but they have

RF Power Meter for $130 which goes up to 5.8 GHz which should be adequate)

2. Trifield for magnetic fields (~$130), but the RF & electric on it are too

weak to be useful for health purposes. Dr. Gauss is a cheaper gaussmeter but I

didn't like it-- IIRC, you have to hold down a button while you're measuring?

3. $15 radio shack radio for intermediate frequencies from electronics

(radioshack), esp. on lowest frequency

4. Body voltage meter for impact of electrical field (emfcenter.com has

instructions to make your own)

My guess is that you could get all of the above for <$400.

Meanwhile, just 1 expensive meter can easily cost over this.

boy, these replies are eye opening. it is very expensive to " diagnose " EMF

pollution. can anyone point me toward any rental programs? where should i look?

thanks again,

Tamara

One such rental site for Trifield and body voltage meter is:

http://www.emfcenter.com/metrsale.htm

You might find it more cost-effective to keep a meter for frequent use though,

e.g., the Cornet meter (RF Power Meter) is one you'll probably be able to use

over and over again.
