How many of you own and use a gauss meter? Does anyone have a good model you would suggest? How often do you utilize it???

I have a very cheap one that someone gave me and rarely use it. I had 2 customers call me up with high emf's in their house-- they both had a $125.00 Gauss meter.

There was another thread I'll find for you, but the question remains why do you feel you need one?

Karl Riley, one of our members, has written a book on EMF's available thru Mike Holt's website. Maybe Karl will chime in.

I know I've posted model numbers before, but I can't find my old post. I have a Sencore and a Bell, but neither is handy to grab model number off of. How often do I use it (them)? Somewhere between hardly ever and pretty often. Seems like I might not use either for a year or so, then I'll get a couple things in a row where I need one. It's hard to predict, really.

I believe Karl liked the Bell model. The one he recommends isn't available anymore and I believe it was a single axis meter.

Simply out of curiousity, and being able to document it. I have never had a need for one, but I have been asked questions along the line I couldn't answer. I thought about it today after reading on how much havoc EMI could raise on two way radios.

I have an inexpensive one & don't use it very often. I was suprised how well it does pick up a current imbalance but would not rely on it for a definitive diagnosis.
