Pros
  • Radiation scanning and detection of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM)
Cons
  • weak

Excellent product. PRM-9000 Knowing my intended use and my minimum requirements, I chose 3 similar products. The PRM-9000 outperformed the other two options due to its additional features. The cost didn't matter. I had a limit, but if what I wanted was too expensive, I wouldn't settle for less. Luckily I could afford this device.

Pros

Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
