Hi everyone,
I recently pulled my GMC-320S out of storage after not using it for almost two years, and I’m noticing that the CPM readings seem slightly higher than what I used to get in the same environment. Before I assume the tube is drifting, is there a reliable method to verify whether the CPM readings are still accurate?

For example:

Is there a recommended low-cost check source or calibration reference for home users?

Does long-term storage affect the M4011 tube’s baseline readings?

Should I perform any internal reset or firmware check before testing accuracy?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!
