john loveless had a ver interesting review... what is the best tester out there in that price range to read Microwave/celphones/WIFI?

This unit is very sensitive. I would think it would be most useful for testing cell phones or any other electric or electronic device.

It depends on the purpose of your measurement. Because of the squelch function you really can't measure the field intensity. That having been said, it does indeed react to, and seems fairly sensitive to, signals from microwave/cell phones/WiFi and also EM emissions from motors. So, if you just want to know if strong fields are present that you should avoid this is a great deal for the price. If you want more accurate measurements then you should look for a higher priced meter.

2-way motorcycle alarm pager with remote .... (spy) is nothing compared with some other. This didn't have 80 mtr range but some other at the range of $25 have a range of &lt;500mtr range signal and all the parts are working

The Trifield does a great job at measure magnetic and electric fields from wired devices. However, it has a lousy RF (wireless microwave) measurement. Try the Acoustimeter or the Acousticom 2 which measure microwave frequencies in the 200MHz to 8 GHz range. It tells you the amount of radiation from cell phones, iPads, wifi, bluetooth, game consoles as well as Smart Meters.

Comrade Trotsky: I just bought this device from Amazon last week - it's an M1001 (Roku doesn't sell the M1000's any more). It works flawlessly. My router [Linksys WRT300N using WPA2 (Personal)] and my SoundBridge are separated by ~ 50 ft., and transmission has to go through several walls. Nonetheless, my SoundBridge almost never cuts out - I would say maybe two or three times (or less) in an eight-hour period. Recovery is automatic, and takes perhaps two seconds. The M1001 now ships with v. 3.0 software, which add several features to the display, as well as realiability (or so I'm told). Tip: Don't use the "standard" music servers out there (Windows, iTunes, etc.). Get Jamcast from Software Development instead (www.sdstechnologies.com - it's free). Jamcast will let you play ANY music-file format on your SoundBridge (including DRM), plus, it allows you to stream Pandora to your SoundBridge - something no other music server can do! PS - When I mentioned drop-outs above, I was referring strictly to using the M1001 as an internet radio. Consequently, the drop-outs MIGHT be the fault of the internet-radio provider. For example, when using Jamcast to receive Pandora, my SoundBridge NEVER cuts out!

I would have a friend or family member help you test this out. Put your phone on speaker with the amplifier speaker near your phone receiver. Talk into the microphone and adjust how close it is to the telephone until your tester can easily understand you without a lot of feedback. You may need to play with volume and angles to get the best sound.

These are the worst tests ever. I highly recommend retesting with a known brand. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the information. I will look at CNET and see their review also. Josie

I recommend the Trifield 100XE EMF Meter for those sort of readings. It's cheaper, accurate, and easy to use. The extech is best if you want to measure radiation from cell towers etc.

Sorry, don't know the answer. And I don't know where any house smart meter is to test the Microwave meter on.

Give it a try. Let me know if it works for you and I will try it. I think my radio is the problem. What is the odds I get the only faulty antenna made. My Bose Wave has never picked up good signal.

Read the reviews ofr Belkin TuneTalk. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative recorder that works well with lectures and has a long battery life, for reasonable student price?

This unit will not test throughput. It will test Ethernet pin outs and shorts with the far end adapter. It also sends a strong tone.

i don't know, but maybe a consumer test kit could be found online? maybe i should check it out!

I tested it against other emfmeters.No documentation is available. I suppose it measures V/m for low frequencies waves, not. radiofrequencies.It worths price se paid!

radio shack ... not a fan of their usual low budget products ... but it works great!

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. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

I have the SANOXY Wireless-N Wifi Repeater.... It is JUNK Not even a good paper weight.
