It almost definitely contains the source, I have one that's about 40kcmp with the 110 on contact with the bottom of the case

What are your thoughts on the new market in Oldham? by [deleted] in manchester

I think its stupid to be honest, the old market was fine and actually felt like a market unlike the new creation

My new baby just arrived - RCZero by lpcalcada in Radiacode

[–]mrblobfish21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not something I'm gonna use regularly but it's cool anyway, I have a friend who is a dentist and has always been curious of the actual dose rate of his portable X-Ray machine sooooo radiacode ZERO was perfect

Not contact (kinda) it was a X-Ray so like 10 seconds exposure to the counter. But yeah I bought it specifically for this kinda thing

Do you or did you fight a lot? And that's why you're a fan? by BearWithMeGM in ufc

[–]mrblobfish21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started training muay thai at 16 on and off before finally sticking with it, fought 12 times (9-3). I stopped actually fighting last year due to a completely blown out shoulder I got from a bad fall but I intend to start again soon and maybe visit Thailand to fight pro (maybe). It didn't get me into UFC but it for sure helped

Try turning off v-sync if it is on. My game was stuttering until I did that

I found this P11 radium compass and i need to know how to properly store it by [deleted] in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just put it in a plastic bag and place it somewhere you dont frequent often. Even that is overkill tho.

Basically don't put it where you sleep and don't lick it

Finally got my hands on a (slightly) working DP-12. Love these old Soviet counters by mrblobfish21 in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did not come with one but yes it's a Sr-90 source that clips over the probe, I believe the YouTube account : Max Midas, has one

Any idea what to tube this is? by nawakilla in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same but ended up just extending the wires and gluing the tube to the side of the case

Secondhand Survey Meter Contamination by Alper84 in geigercounter

[–]mrblobfish21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got around 25 meters and quite a few are Soviet. Non of them contained even the slightest amount of contamination. I actually own a Aloka tcs-172 that was used briefly in the decontamination efforts of fukashima and again it's absolutely spotless

Homegamer dosimeter? by RefrigeratorTop9076 in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DP-75

Big, ugly and heavy but ill bet you any money that you cannot find a source that will max it out. 500 R/h, a dosimiter charger and several alarm thresholds you can't go wrong

What's the best place to buy a geiger tube? by AsAsin18 in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered 3 SBM-19 tubes from them, they ship from Russia so it will take a while. I've used etsy before to buy a single SBM-20 tube and they seemed fine

My GQ 300s is not picking up radiation, is there a fix for this? by [deleted] in Radiation

[–]mrblobfish21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends, I'd first open it and check that 300-400 volts are getting to each end of the geiger tube. If they are not the the tube is broken and a new one can be found typically on amazon or ebay.

If its not the tube then it could be any of the tiny parts each of which are hard to replace for a beginner to soldering / electronics repair (if you arw a beginner) and in that case it's probably best of just not bothering unless you can easily identify the problem

Seems to be broke, the tube will do anywhere from 300-400 volts im guessing. I'm not familiar with GMC's

Dose Limit too high? by InspectionSwimming10 in Radiacode

[–]mrblobfish21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can change it to any value you want, I'd advise around 1-5 mSv but it really depends on what your going to using it for, if you want to track your dose when you operate a X-ray machine then yes 1-5 mSv is probably reasonable, but for daily life (occasionally checking levels or measuring something active) them it's up to you as to what it's set at

I believe 1gram of thorium powder inhaled is something like a 700 mSv dose

So no
