Radex RD1706 vs Terra-P MKS-05 Dosimeter Comparison [video]

Some video tests about Radex RD1706 and Terra-P MKS-05. You can get dosimeters on eBay, here.

1) Radex RD1706 vs Terra-P MKS-05 dosimeter comparison (by ).
Testing these two dosimeters using some uranium glass marbles.



2) Radex RD1706 vs Terra-P MKS-05 dosimeter comparison (background radiation) (by )
The Radex RD1706 features two Geiger Muller detector tubes while the Terra P comes equipped with only a single tube. They are both new generation dosimeters, with digital displays and a multitude of functions.



3) Radex RD1706 vs Terra-P MKS-05 (TRAY REMOVED) dosimeter comparison on uranium glass (by )
Since the Terra-P is not as sensitive as the Radex, for this test I've removed the tray covering the GM tube on the Terra-P. Of course now the indications are uncalibrated.
The test shows the Radex 1706 is better for low levels of radiation. It also has two GM tubes which give extra sensitivity.
