the Meters

[thenukeman]

Of course the best instrument is the position sensitive proportional counter that Shonka Research has.  Nothing else even comes close!!!! Just push on the floor and you get a color 2 d map, or 3 d map, you get 400 pixels per square meter or a pixel every 2 inch by 2 inch square.  It tells you maximum 100 cm2 and also square meter averages  every square meter you have.

ESP 2 DataLogger.....Versatile , direct computer data download, interchangeable probes....One drawback was the A109 chip falls out of the board if it gets knocked around any and you loose all the data.

We are getting ready to buy another extender instrument, but we have had bad experiences with the two types we have, the Johnson and the Ludlium extender. We need something rugged,(sand, snow, wind, rain, up and down ladders) and its only use would be to survey under the lifted lid on a cask so it really doesn't need to extend, it just has to have its probe 8' from the readout and read between 100 mR and 1000 R. Any suggestions or comments would be really appreciated.

Glenn,
You may want to take a look at MGPI's Dosi Pole. We are probably going to buy a few in the near future here at Progress Energy, Duke also uses them. It's an extendable meter, aprox 11', its digital with a smooth response. It has 2 detectors and switches automatically at 800 mr. Its top range is 1000R. Get in touch with Jim Kost at MG, tell him I sent you.
