  Can the Cornet E85EX EMF meter be used in India? We have 50hZ here.
  Regards and Thanks – Pritam

  The Trifield meter is calibrated either at 50Hz or 60Hz depending on the electricity supply of your country of residence.
  The Cornet meter measures RF radiation which is nothing to do with the electricity supply. It can be used anywhere in the world.

  Is there another meter out there that will measure cell phone radiation, that is cheaper? In the beginning you say that there are a lot of average cell phone radiation EMF meters out there… could one of those possibly work for the same thing if you just wanted to test cell phone radiation? Also, how many GHz does a cell phone normally emit? Is it even necessary, when testing cell phones, that the meter tests all the way to 8GHz? Thank you!

  There are cheaper meters which will measure cell phone radiation. You really have to ask yourself what you are wanting to measure. The Cornet will give you reliable measurements and it has a high level of sensitivity – the Cornet will pick up signals some cheaper meters won’t even detect. It depends where you live but cell phones are usually operating in the 850 to 1900 Mhz (that’s 0.85 to 1.9Ghz) but the frequencies used for these wireless technologies are going higher all the time, some new WiFi and cordless phones are operating in the 5.8Ghz range. With the Cornet you are covered.

  I want to know if this RF Meter will disclose where the Smart Chips are in new appliances and other electronics to allow for their removal?

  Lloyd said,

  Yes this meter will tell you if your electrical appliance has an RF power transmitter fitted but these chips are an integral part of the machine. If you did manage to remove it your guarantee would be invalidated – better to test before buying.

  Lloyd, thank you so much for your excellent work.

  As an electrohypersensitive, I’d like to update my good old electrosmog meter (50MHZ – 3.5 GHZ) with an easily portable meter, able to catch up to 8 GHZ.
  Both the Acoustimeter MW AM10 and the Cornet ED85E looked very interesting and promising.

  However, when looking closer at your videos to try to figure out what was the minimum signal either meters were able to pick, I was not sure I could read or translate properly.
  That is : I am comfortable with a (tri-directional) reading of 8 to 12 mV/m or 0.2 mu W/m2 or 25 mu A/m on my Electrosmog meter. I start perceiving some discomfort from 12mV/m on.

  If I really have to (airport or public place), I can last about 2 hours in a 120 mV/m environment but it would certainly help to be informed also of these relatively low levels between (12 and 120 mV/m) exposures to optimize my autonomy and relocate quicker to a safer spot.

  On the Cornet description it says :
  The Cornet ED85EX EMF meter can measure from 1.5 uW/m2 (which seems much less sensitive than the electrosmog meter) to 0.58 W/m2, but the LCD screen on the video looked more like 0,001 mu W/m2 ? Which one is correct ?.

  On the acoustimeter’s description, it says :
  Sensitivity* (Peak Display): 0.02 V/m – 6.00 V/m
  Sensitivity* (Average Display): 1 µW/m2 – 100,000 µW/m2
  * audio may be produced at levels below 0.02 V/m
  If that really translates to 20 mV/m , it should work for me outside of my home.

  Would you be so kind to cross check this information and let me know your opinion ?

  Many, many thanks

  Hi Julia
  The minimum frequencies that can be measured by the meters I review are:
  for the Acoustimeter: 200 MHz
  for theCornet ED85EX: 1MHz
  So the ED85EX can measure in a lower frequency range than the Acoustimeter.
  You said:“I am comfortable with a (tri-directional) reading of 8 to 12 mV/m or 0.2 mu W/m2 or 25 mu A/m”.
  The measurement sensitivity of both the meters I review is 20 mV/m (or 1.5µW/m2).
  Going on what you are saying to me, you are reacting to an electric field strength (V/m) or PFD (μW/m2) of “12m/V on”, which is lower than what either the Acoustimeter or ED85EX are designed to measure. In which case I can’t see what you would gain by buying either the Acoustimeter or the ED85EX.

  BTW: What you can see on the ED85EX video is 0.001mW/m². (0.001mW/m² (milliwatts) equals 1 µW/m2 microWatts)….when I compare the readings given by the Acoustimeter to those of the ED85EX at these extremely low levels, I have found the Acoustimeter to be more sensitive than the ED85EX.

  Ive been using this one for the last couple of years it works well. I have replaced the arial with a more robust one.

  To get accurate cell phone radiation readings with this Cornet do you need some type of protected tray to place the phone in/on? If so, what should it be made of? If not, how do you get most accurate readings?

  (And BTW, I got my Cornet through your recommended link and did get very good service).
  Thanks, Les

  Hi Les
  Ideally you would place your cell phone on a bracket (something like the devices that are sold to hold cell phones in cars) so that you can get readings from the front, back, and sides with your meter. Or you can just place it on a flat surface but there will be one side you cannot measure.
  Then hold your meter at 0cm from each side of the cell phone, note your measurements, do the same at 1cm, 2cm etc., note your readings. This will help you understand the importance of proximity with EMF exposure.
  Now do the same in call mode and the same again in text mode.
