Zero or the 100 series?
Im aware these devices serve completely different purposes, however I have some questions regarding especially the Zero.
Is it sensitive to Beta rays only and less sensitive to Gamma? Ive heard this from some people now. I strongly prefer Gamma sensitivity.
Is 16cps for 1uSv/h really bad compared to 30cps for 1uSv/h?
Does Zero actually provide meaningful readings below 1msv/h? Ive seen a video of it where it behaves really poorly and another one where its dose reading is significantly off.
I, if possible that is, want to obtain a counter that can measure high levels of gamma radiation, and still want it to be somewhat accurate in low range conditions. At least behave better and give accurate measurements than something like better geiger S-1 or GMC320+…
(I used to own a RC103, but got fed up after its spectrometry behaved badly and no amount of calibrations fixed it, so i had to refund it.
But that was then, I no longer adamantly seek to do basic nor advanced spectroscopy. Might prefer having it, but certainly not the game maker.)
All those aside, is Zero really reliable compared to the 100 series?
Better yet, are there contenders to radiacode for high range performance and accuracy?
