Hiya guys, joe here again. i was thinking of runing a remote probe out to my garage ~50 feet from my room as far as cable length is concerned, so far i have...
In general, not a good idea because the capacitance of the cable will distort the pulses so that they will no longer be detectable. Wave shaping compensation...
What kind of reading should a CD V-700 get with it's check source (assuming fresh batteries are installed, and everything is working well)? Is a good reading...
Good quality coax cable might help. The ideal solution is to put the rad detector in the remote location, and then run a low level output signal from it, to...
If I needed a remote sensor for a low cost, I would put the entire CDV-700 out at the site, remove the meter movement and remote it alone, put just the meter...
... I didn't know that, and hearing it surprises me 'cuz about 75% of what I've heard from mass media (yes, I know...) about ambient ionizing radiation has...
Opto-coupling may work well too. Most LEDs should be fast enough. You could use the headphone output instead of digging in to the metering circuit. An LED...

Quite correct Marshall, my comments are concerning detectable gamma radiation as would be registered on a Geiger Counter or Spectrum Analyzer. Typically a long...
Yea i was thinking capacitance would be a problem, i was trying to get it as cheap as possible. my second way was going to be building a line powered counter...

Could nuclear power make a comeback? I certainly hope so! This needs to be put on a war footing... It's such a shame to see what's happened with this country....

What kind of reading should a CD V-700 get with it's check source Hi Kevin! You should see about a 50% deflection on the X-10 range, provided that you have a...
... provided In less CDVish terms, the source is 1-2 "mR/hr", beta window open (thus the quotes). (Its actually spec'd to be that.) This is similar to a...
Either: 1) Your sources are strong enough to be detectable at a distance which is more than ten times the largest dimension of your detector. Then the field of...
Don't forget to block the beta component from the Cs-137 or it will skew the reading when the probe's beta window is open. 3mm of aluminum sheet, 1/2" of...
