It could also be that the new model will turn out to be a furslugginer tuna boat. --Either way, enough time has passed to renew my request. I'd like to see GQ offer a very simple, stand alone feature --which for some reason is only found on expensive Geiger counters: *** A timed count. I don't care if anything else displays or communicates out the ports. As long as those of us doing monitoring could have a very affordable, simple, battery operated Geiger counter with an adjustable timed count and a display of that total count (10 minutes, an hour, 10 hours, and whatever in between) --THEN we could park it in a remote "bird house" shelter, not have to run out cable, not have to be running a computer and a data logging program. We could simply collect the counter and the count later in the day. Hey: don't need no: uSv/hr, uR/hr, real time CPM --not even logging or a USB port. I'm talking simple and cheap, but with a reasonably good timing clock and a good enough battery to reliably go the distance of it's longest period count. Hey GQ: your Russian competition just doesn't understand this basic need. Their new RD1212 only counts up for 10 minutes per data point. Ain't nobody got a timed count in an affordable counter. The market would be yours. [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
