Bought some uranium glazed pottery (Fiestaware) from eBay for about 10 GBP. Measured it at my work with a professional pan-cake survey meter,
the Saphymo Minitrace S5. The minitrace measures ~70uSh/h. Note: not energy compensated and calibrated on a Cs-137 source.

My personal GMC-320 Plus measured around ~13uSv/h, after stabilizing around 2000CPM after a few minutes.
Not bad, given the difference in detection area (pancake GM with a foil that detects alpha, beta & gamma versus a tube GM
which can only detect some beta and mostly gamma) and price difference. :-)

If that's using a pancake and more expensive, it should have higher CPM than the 320, otherwise, you can just display any number.

Good question. I looked through the device's menu but could not find a CPM mode. I'll check the instruction manual tomorrow.
