When using all in one mode, the RF reading is always 0.001 mW/m2 and rarely changes or goes above 0.002. It seems to be displaying mainly ---- (unknown source)but changes to static or mixed sources for some of the time. However, when I change the mode to vertical the RF reading is about 100 times higher at around 0.113 to 0.450 mW/m2 mainly at @ 636 or 952 MHz, which seems more likely. When I change the mode to table I am getting much smaller readings, e.g. 636 MHz @ 251pW or 952MHz @ 100pW. When I change to RF spectrum mode, using the 240 to 1040MHz band (fully zoomed out) I am reading e.g. 636MHz at 251pW 960MHz @ 251pW. I am waiting at least 20 seconds before comparing readings in different modes. Why is there such a big difference in readings in various modes, such as all in one, vertical and other modes but similar readings in Table and RF spectrum mode? 2. When measuring electric fields, I seem to be getting very high static readings (regardless of outside weather) e.g. 400 to 800 V/m on conductive and non conductive surfaces and grounded installations e.g. memory foam mattress, pillow, wooden chair, radiators, metal framed chair, pipes etc. I would assume, EF readings should only be this high on the surfaces of electrical cables, switches, electrical appliances, power lines, etc. Are these readings correct?
