GQ GMC-320 Geiger counter UPGRADE mod. Detached PROBE! [CAPTIONS ENABLED] 

Wow! That's a great idea! It might not calibrate exactly but honestly I'd think it'd still give you accurate enough readings for hobby purposes. I suppose the alpha detectors work on about the same voltage.

I'd love to see a video of that, what detector did you use?

Do you think I can just use hot glue ive used it for a lot of other electrical stuff and it works great as long as nothing gets hot but let me know what you think I want to try this !

@@inductor1.77 thank you !! I am doing it to a tiny tubed HFS 20 and I think it will work out well can I use other wire besides phone wire ?? Or should I use phone wire because its super thin

@@inductor1.77 I want mine to be more sensitive and help search for radioactive sources im not worried about water proof ability because I will be very careful with my tools when I'm out eventually I want to get a full water proof one but I won't be in the rain or anything with it so should be fine

@@inductor1.77 Very good to know !! I will keep this in mind I should be good with this phone wire then as its well insulated but I will experiment in the future with 300volt wire I also have liquid insulation so of there is every a issue of not enough I can just add it where its needed and wait 10 hours for it to dry but I can't wait to see the results ill let you know and possibly even post a video on my other chanel to show you if I do get it working its with a tiny geieger counter I haven't seen anyone do this yet but I'm sure they have tried it I can't be the only one to do this with a HFS-20

@@inductor1.77 i just finished it i will make a video tomorrow morning and make a comment on here with mt other account when its done and it will be my only video so all you have to do is click the video i need a better geiger counter to test how accurate it really is now that I modified it but it is more sensitive but I would say I need a bigger tubed one which I have coming but I attached it to a selfie stick like this guy suggested and it looks and works good I will post tomorrow to show you !!

Sorry for not replying earlier. I took the original tube from the inside and put it on the end, however, I suppose you could set up a switch and use another tube of the same type. If you open up the detector, you'll easily see where to connect things. Just make sure to note polarity. The tube snaps in/out and that's where I connected the rj9 plug. Hope that helps.

I‘m late, but you could build 2 probes. When the low dose probes maxes out, you can use the high dose probe. But make sure to only use cpm or calibrate it appropriately if you end up doing that.

I'd imagine that it'd be almost the same, maybe identical. Just open up and remove the tube (it snaps in) and connect the RJ9 plug. Keep polarity in mind.

The 300e is basically the same as the 320+, the 320+ does have a few more features like a gyroscope to flip the screen depending on how you're holding it, has a temperature sensor, has 1MB storage (the 300e has 64KB storage), and Treshhold Data Logging.

Have you tried using an internet search engines, they're really good at finding information and locating what you want to buy.

I think the plus might have wifi and slightly better data logging im not sure though I don't have either yet just ordered my 320s

Radiation itself does not contaminate. It is radioactive particles that could get on it which would contaminate. The particles themselves in this disk are isolated.
