I just purchased a used RADEX 1503. The unit did not come with the original instructions. The video is very informative and easy to follow. I now can utilize all of the functions of this instrument..
A million thanks! I learned more from watching your 15 minute video than I have from hours and hours of studying the Russian/English translated instructions. My Radex LCD screen is also in Russian (I notice yours has English) so I was really having a hard time guessing even what the on screen menu headings were. You cleared up the confusion beautifully!!!!!
I'm so glad you mentioned that your instructions can be used for the 1503+, which I just bought. However, I still don't understand the whole "background" thing, and I was hoping for an explanation of how to use the "dose" function.
I think the 5 backgroug readings are meant for people to set 5 commonly used backgrounds. You only need to set it once if you are reading just in one area. Anyway, this is very informative.
I think it will take some practice to work this Radex 1706. We are going to Hawaii in 2 weeks. I hope there isn't too much radiation there. Dr Leuren says you are toast if you go to Hawaii!
Does it matter how you hold it? Seems like it would be a bad idea to have your fingers curled around the sides where the tubes are since that would shield them somewhat.
when you took readings from one side/ one tube of the geiger was the other tube still active or can you selectively shut it off & take readings from a single tube?
I was wondering the same thing. I cant find out anything on the internet; not even the name of the thing I want to change! "Clicker" is my best guess. And I dont know what kind of clicker makes the click instead of the beep.
@FunkMan53 Hatte ihn damals bei einem russischen verkäufer auf eBay gekauft. Lag pereislich so um die 170€. Leider ist der wegen dem Unfall in Japan mittlerweile unverschämt teuer. Der verkäufer war "annakozub", der hat den auch noch für rund 200€ im Angebot, das ist preislich ok. Lieferung aus Russland klappte auch gut, hab bei dem schon insgesamt 3 Geigerzähler gekauft.
I received this a few days ago and it is written Russian........why your is written in English? that makes me feel bad that I got Russian written one........ fist, mine say ( on the top where the battery shows) mk3b /μ...........why mine is does not say μSv???

Excellent video......rational, in depth and at times very humorous.
Thank you very much - I found the instruction manual confusing and I found your demonstration very clear and informative.

have you noticed when your hand got closer during back round check the clicks went higher
Thanks very much.
Very informative and useful.
Regards from Japan.
PSPurchased from Amazon Japan for16,000 yen.
Does this work as a dosimeter?
I have one of these units and the battery cover plate keeps falling out ,,,grrr
thanks for being a nice guy, so will you be a nice guy and do a instructional video about the terra MKS-05
Nice job! Thank you!!!
is there a way to change the chirp to more of a click?
I was wondering the same thing. I cant find out anything on the internet; not even the name of the thing I want to change! "Clicker" is my best guess. And I dont know what kind of clicker makes the click instead of the beep.
Nope. The audio options are limited to the chirp heard in the video, vibrate or off.
