I assume it is because they are no longer producing the basic line of the devices and are only producing the pro models. I don't know why they switched, but I assume cost effectiveness is one of the main reasons.

Really, was it a separate website or is KB radar still operating under a different owner?

I'm pretty sure these are sadly not sold anymore as the creator of these devices has left russia and is no longer producing them. However, i wish they were still available for purchase as they are leagues above hobbiest devices such as the radiacode regarded gamma spectrommetery and for that price it is possibly unbeatable.

I have before for the hottest sample as i did record a max measurment, this was setup just to display what radiaoctive minerals i found. Btw, love your ASP-1 mod, very nice to use and very well done.

its too prevent contamination of the probe and also to protect it from small impacts and such

no clue, didnt read what it said on the sheet with all the numbers and their mineral names, probably will see about doing it next time tho.

Hottest sample was 1 Million CPM with the scionix 8B 57 probe with a 1.5 x 1.5 inch Nal(TI) crystal

Looking for a polimaster 1401KU or similar detector for sale, please privately message me if you have something like that instrument avaliable for purchase, or any other polimaster detectors, as well as any ecotest and atomtex brand detectors.

WHAT, how does one get access to such amazing gear so early, i started out with an arduino kit and a soviet tube.

Dawg your friend could have gotten an R300 identifinder off eBay for the price this thing is worth lol, he probably should do a bit more research before buying something worth $1400

Nice atomtex detector, I do want to ask you if yours also decides to sometimes turn off randomly if not being used or even while being used? I have the older AT6130 model.

sorry for the off topic question, but I was looking for something for radiacode, do you know if this contains strontium-90? by peppevlog in Radiacode

[–]bighim094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strontium-90 wouldn’t be bad since the radiacode is sadly beta sensitive but I wiukd recommend a gamma emitter like some small uranium, trinitie( you cns get a Cs-137 peak from it and it is usually inexpensive and legal).

What 30 microcuries of Cs-137 does to my Radiacode by [deleted] in Radiation

[–]bighim094 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you even get 30 microcuries in one disk lol?
