Pros & Cons
Pros
The meter seems to fit the parameters of a professional rf field strength detector. Can measure rf from a microwave oven at about 2. Watts. The microwave is truly remarkable source of radiation and the power reduces exponentially with the distance.
The readings are off the charts. That correction is a very good thing for me personally. If any one is expecting accurate results, this is the best instrument known to me.
Kaltman creations lowavz antennas are 50 and 1k ohms with up to 12db of gain. Several models include external pre-amplifiers and standard ¼ inch tripod mount. The range is in the ghz to 3.
Cons
Triple axis measurement, however, again there is not the option of a single value calculated from 3 separate readings but rather 3 separate axis emf readings. This unit has an average function and a max average function but offers no details on the ti... Read More
The extech emf-dimmer measures only ac magnetic field (mg/ut), not ac electric field (v/m,mw/cm2, etc. It is not possible to measure ac electric fields ( ghz) at the same level as magnetic fields.
Highlights
Quality
The product works great and will help you reduce your radiation exposure
The meter has a good build quality with the exception of the slop in the battery compartment it feels pretty solid
I am not too upset with the extra money paid to buy this from extech because they have been great with support for me in the past
I would suggest printing a small cheat sheet and placing it in the case with the unit for quick reference
Competitiveness
It detected extremely high radiation from the router installed by att for our uverse highspeed internet
The unit by default has a cal value of 1

It has a lot of options to measure emf strength but it doesnt measure the emf in gauss or tesla

I would also like to point out that this meter looks suspiciously like the tes593 8ghz rf field strength meter which can be purchased for around 400450
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I would guess that tes or extech made the meter and one or the other rebranded it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If i were to guess tes may be the original mfg of this meter
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Tes is short for tes electrical electronic corp

There is also a small hole for an extra 9v battery and an elongated slot for possibly some sort of accessory like a cable but since there is no interface connection to the meter the slot is of no use
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It does however have a foam insert that plugs the slot since it is not used

After pressing the power button the meter does a self check then displays the cal screen and cal value for a couple seconds and then arrives at the operating screen
