Is this an adequate and reliable meter to measure RF generated from Smart Meters? Will I need something that measures in the Hz range first?

Yes, This is the best meter for RF generated from smart meters. No, you don,t need anything apart from this meter. If you want to measure signal in power frequency range such as EM field from power line, you have to buy another as this meter will not be suitable for low frequency application

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the IR losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

OK first off NO this meter can not measure 40 mhz !!the spec's say only to 10 Mhz !!and just so you know this is for sine wave's only and not RMSNow my Qusestion to you is why do you want a meter to measure 40 Mhz ??As for my assement of this meter its one of the most bang for your Buck !!its a great meter !!!(for the price)now why do you need to mesurea 40 mhz there are many very afforadable DSO that you can get for $300-$400 dollars that will measue Freq and voltage.anyway wish you luck anyt more Question feel Free to Ask:)

It should be good for both power lines & cell towers. I don't know anything about the Trifield 100. If you are ignorant of all this, best to find someone on the internet who can help you learn how to read this meter, which can be tricky, as there are several scales of measurement and you need to know what is too much radiation on each of these scales.

NO. You should know you need an oscilloscope, this is a current measuring device and if you don't know the difference, you had best stay out of the circuit panel !

RF Power & SWR meter for 1.8-525Mhz - HF / VHF / UHF 200W http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00579E6RW/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Pyramid PS21KX 20 Amp Power Supply http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002JTD2A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -Keep an eye out for anything made by MFG, they won't let you down. All you have to do with these power supplies is make sure that your amperage rating for the transceiver is below the continuous amperage rating generated by the power supply and voltage should also be within range, so that you don't burn up your equipment. It's safe to use a power supply that produces greater continuous amperage than your radio requires, just make sure its producing voltage within the correct range as well. hope this helps, 73's to ya! KF5WTJ Works great together! Also, check out www.hamradio.com (Ham Radio Outlet) great prices and sometimes no shipping.

I don't know. I use this for domestic applications only. I bought it because none of my old meters were Catagory 3.

Assuming you're referring to the 100XE meter, it can't read power density, and it reads magnetic flux density whereas the Extech one reads field strength. I believe its frequency limit is 3 GHz, and the Extech one's limit is 3.5 GHz.

It will measure current well under 5A DC. I've been told clamp on meters aren't very accurate and I think this is compounded at lower currents when the coil is influenced by other stray fields. When I went outside and did a little testing with my trickle charger (and leadtype multimeter in series) I found that it's quite accurate (within 10%) down to 0.5A but when I got to the 0.05A it was out by up to 75%. I think your results will vary depending on environment.

Yes it would be pushing it and very well fry the tuner. You might be able to put 5w of 2m/440 RF through the power meter with no I'll effects but the meter will be very inaccurate at that frequency. If you are looking for a meter just for 2m/440, MFJ sells dedicated simplistic meters designed just for that. At or near the same price tag too.

Yes , this meter will do this, plus it is capable of using for many other electrical measurements.I really like mine

Yes, this devive measures Electro-magnetic fields as well as radio frequencies. Your microwave transmitts radio fequency.Your other devices transmit electro magnetic fields .Basically the closer you are to the device in question the higher the readings.So the farther away you are the safer it is. I like the meter and would recomend it for shure.It also has electric field measurement. Up to 3 mili gaus is considered safe.

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the I·R losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low.

No. It only responds to low-frequency AC and alternating magnetic fields. A smart meter would radiate much higher frequencies.

This should be a good instrument for your measurements. Just remember that ambient noise and the distance between the meter and the target noise are critical factors in making measurements.

It only measures current (not voltage, not power factor) and calculates kW and kW-Hr from that so it's not the most accurate tool for the job. The reports and stuff are good enough to do that, if you can live with perhaps 10% accuracy.

I would say yes. I have this product and it detects emf from TV and computer and even smart phone. I'm not sure what a dangerous level of emf is but this meter detects up to 5 milligauss.
