The DX-1
Radiation Monitor detects Beta, Gamma, and X-radiations. The counter emits audible clicks from its internal loudspeaker and
registers radioactivity on a
compressed scale analog meter (see
right) up
to 10 mR/hr, compacting several ranges into one, available at a glance.
In addition to the audible clicks, at high radiation levels, the speaker beeps, indicating obvious
danger. The beeping begins at about 20 mR/hr, with intervals between beeps decreasing in
relation to field strength, becoming a continuous tone at 200 mR/hr. Play
this sound file.
The DX-1 includes an easily replaceable, yet long-lasting 9 volt battery.
A single pushbutton activates the DX-1 only when needed, as seen in the
picture above, and thus
conserves battery power. An LED indicator reassures you of battery
condition upon each use. The DX-1 is ruggedly constructed and continues to
operate in a saturation environment. Select the navigation button above,

on the DX-1 Pocket Geiger Counter.
The DX-1 is a very good Pocket Geiger Counter - affordable,
simple to use, and all that is needed for a basic determination of whether or
not something is radioactive. Purchase the DX-1 below, or if you would
like to consider the similar, but higher ranging DX-2 model, select the
