Review on πŸ“± RADEX RD1212 BT Bluetooth Radiation Dosimeter by Scott Ramu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Size, Price, Easy Setup! Can it vibrate?

The Radex Geiger Counter/Dosimeter is one of the best inexpensive instruments I have seen. I've had mine for a few months now, it's easy to use and works great. You can choose to measure in microsieverts or microrems, I prefer microrems and if the reading is outside of 1000 it will show in millirems. You can also toggle the display to measure heart rate per minute. One of the best features is the vibrate mode, which most other devices don't have. While walking around with this device, I set it to vibrate with no sound. The main disadvantage of this Radex is that it cannot be attached to a belt. You can carry it in your shirt pocket or do like me and buy a belt pouch the size (110mm x 75mm x 20mm) on eBay from China, it fits perfectly. I've worn the Radex in public and many times when I'm sitting in a restaurant it vibrates and acts up. Someone just walked through the door 30 feet away who had recently been injected with Technetium-99, a common radioactive tracer used in tens of millions of medical diagnostic procedures each year. Finding radioactivity in everyday life is just a fun activity, a much better hobby than stamp collecting. The Radex (RD1212-BT) shown costs about $325.
