GAMMA SCOUT dosimeter made by GAMMA SCOUT GMBH. the GAMMA SCOUT is a device that measures ionizing radiation (“radioactivity”) by using a geiger mueller tube. PART ONE contains general info and the equipment / software PART TWO contains a full review of the device itself PART THREE contains a stress test with various radioactive materials does YOUR company sell equipment to measure ionizing radiation? consider sending one of your devices to me for a review, then! at the expense of one device (as i’m intending to keep the device you’re sending me for reviewing), you can get FREE advertising for your product! keep in mind that i will tell the truth and my opinions cannot be bought for money, though – if your device is great, you’ll get a great review. if you dont trust your own device… well, better not yet send it to me, then, and get to improving your product first. 😉
@Ch3mG33k
yeah, especially if you imagine that the pilot was surrounded by many instruments like this… but, well, i guess in WWII, that was nothing much to worry about in the context of all things.
where do you get these devices?
@halowarsmyson
just google for GAMMA SCOUT.
gammascout rules!
@Geomanb
well, now the device works as it should work, it is a pretty good device indeed.
however, if you take those weird correspondence, the software and the price into consideration, well… but still, just by itself, it’s a pretty nifty tool.
@bionerd23 Software:
\\vvvvvv’gammascout’com\downloads’html
url without “-” between gamma and scout – there are vista and windows 7 32 AND 64bit drivers
@Geomanb
oh, i didnt see that – thanks for the hint! i’ll check them out.
however, i still think it’s lousy to supply a really, really old software version with the brand new gamma scout model… the outdated manual (50 uSv/h) is one thing – an “errata” letter with that would suffice – but i think they should supply the latest software when shipping their devices.
@bionerd23 I wrote an E-mail, hope thay change the driver-problem now.
The Gammascout is pricy, but I think it’s worth the money. They even use it in Garchin research facility.
@Geomanb
i am very happy with the unit itself now it works, too, dont get me wrong – but saying stuff like “1000 uSv/h are nuclear core conditions” in their manual makes the company look VERY unprofessional. maybe they should charge 50 more euros for each device and therefor hire a person who knows their stuff to write the manual, and a software engineer to write new software… and a radiation protection officer for their in-lab tests. all that needs urgent improvement imo.
@bionerd23 I fully agree.
Well I mean: You have a very high knowledge on this topic, perhaps they have got a job for you…
i hate that sound. i think the tick and screech of a geiger is very scary. probably due to me being brought up during the cold war. (duck and cover drills in school and stuff, too!)
By the way, I really like the sound of your voice.
I like the good old cdv-700. Simple, robust, HUGE, and traditional looking (cold war chic!!).
What’s this crap about radioactive boars rampaging through germany?
these things are like 500 pond per thing
and you have @!! dude you are fucking rich
@gekesulen
nope, i’m certainly not rich, lol, i just have certain priorities… i had to save for this device, too. 😉
it’s SCREAMING!!!!
What does GmbH mean?
@forallpurposesonly
pretty much the same as “Inc.” in english.

Russian not bad =)
Any idea on how to make a very sensitive geiger counter at home?
I know you can just buy it, but that ruins all the fun.
Lol at 3:42 the gamma scout nearly spells out hell. which is probably how its feeling then.
@Powdermonkey09 yes, I heard about that in yahoo news.
JAPAN FALLOUT IS HERE
PEOPLE DEMAND YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO OWN GEIGER COUNTER METERS TO POST RESULTS ON YOUTUBE
TELL PEOPLE TO POST LIVE RESULTS OF THERE GEIGER COUNTER METERS AROUND THE COUNTRY ON YOUTUBE
MANY MANY CITIZENS OWN THESE THINGS

cant believe how people are playing arround with radioactive materials lol 😛
