As you may have noticed, the board has a bunch of unpopulated solder pads with missing components. I suspect that there were additional features originally designed for this device but were not implemented for some reason. If anyone has schematics for this meter or at least knows what these components are for, please let me know in the comments. I would be very grateful.

I'm gonna answer this question myself. I've contacted BOSEAN, and they said that the missing components are for the electromagnetic radiation detection.
If you have measured the GM tube voltage with 1Ghom resistor in series with multimeter test leads you will have about 420-414V readings. :) I have measured. :)
Do you know the resistance in ohms of the resistor for the tube?
It a great device and probably the best in its price range. I made a more detailed video on this product a few months ago...
Yeah, I've seen your review, and I like your channel. From my point of view, there's still no perfect dosimeter on the market. I wish there was something like Radiacode 103 but also with a GM tube as a second sensor, IP 65, touch screen, Bluetooth. Maybe even built in GPS chip. It's not that hard to make it.
@@ElectronicsComputers Its not difficult to design what you suggest, but it is difficult to make for a price that will make it successful in the market. GM counters are being pushed down in the cost they can command in the market as gamma ray spectrometers come down in price.
Great review. i always hope ill find a review like this when im researching a product but rarely do
Thank you for the comment!
Great video.
Thank you for the comment.
Great!!
Thank you!
Hello
Very nice video, thanks : )
This geiger counter is having good press lately. Manh yourubers that seem to know what they are doing are recommending it as a budget option.
I got mine a couple weeks ago. I hope I got ir for fun and not for prepping
One question if you don't mind.
I'm IT, so, I'm a noob in these matters. Recently I wanted to get two samples from AliExpress to toy with the GC. Very light, the crystals that you link and another thorium salts pendant (New age people is a little crazy, right?).
In the end I didn't bought then because I thought that I better make some research on how to handle them, store them and dispose of them shall I have to. Even if these are very light.
Can you give some advice or recommend something to read in that regard?
I'm looking into it, bur any advice would be super wellcome.
Thanks again for the video. Regards.
Well, even though this dosimeter is considered budget-friendly, it's still better for me in all aspects compared to the $500 Gamma Scout I owned, including interface, dimensions, and features. There's also firmware available source code availbale online, allowing for customization.
Regarding radiation safety, it's not about the strength of the source but the duration of exposure. You could visit Chernobyl's Unit 4, one of the most radioactive places on Earth, for half an hour without adverse effects. However, wearing a small, weak sample from a smoke alarm as a medallion could be fatal in 18 months.
Next time you fly, take a dosimeter and you'll see it go crazy at 10 km (33,000 feet) altitude, where the average radiation level is 2-5 microsieverts per hour. Recently, I had a CT scan of my thyroid with radioactive iodine injected into my vein, and the radiation around me reached up to 150 microsieverts, causing all dosimeters in the room to beep. But within a few days, the radiation was undetectable. X-ray doses range from 100 to 1,500 microsieverts. I've had dozens of X-rays in my life.
Having a collection of radioactive isotopes, which is a hobby for many people including myself, is totally safe and I just keep them in a drawer. I'm confident they can't harm me unless attached to my body or ground into a powder and inhaled. As one doctor said, "Low radiation is life, high radiation or no radiation at all is death."
I also hope to use this equipment for my hobby and not for surviving, considering current world events.
will it work (minus recharge) if battery terminal are switched to an external 3 AA cell pack?
@@ElectronicsComputers Ni-MH AA rechargeable batteries should be 1.2 volts. Wouldn't it work in series (3.6 Volts)? Fresh Alkaline should be 4.5 V, a bit too much I suppose, the device battery is 3.7 V.
That dosimeter requires at least 3.5 volts power supply. So, three AA battery will do the job. With two it won't even turn on.
@@danndank It will work perfectly fine with three regular 1.5V batteries or rechargeable NiMH 1.2V batteries. The latter should be recharged using a dedicated charger.
@philiptong4978 That dosimeter requires at least 3.5 volts power supply. So, three AA battery will do the job. With two it won't even turn on.
GM tubes have particular voltage range where it works as expected, too low or too high will give false reading, would be nice if the high voltage circuit can adapt to a range of inputs
ive been looking for something like this, how long is the battery life?
In energy-saving mode with constant radiation monitoring, it can last up to a month according to the manufacturer's specs. In reality, it's about 2-3 weeks, depending on how you use it.
