I think either I'm living in a hot spot south of Three Mile Island or something is not reported correctly :-). I just connected with a GQ GMC-300S and my spot on the map is red (only one) and states the 24-hour average is 24.96uSv/h, locally it's registering .07uSv/h to .20uSv/h-ish. The application page states Microsoft Windows (98 or later) running on an Intel x86-compatible CPU should be version 1.78 but my BOINC manager states Local: Radioactivity monitor 1.70 is this normal? Or is the monitor malfunctioning?

Thanks

Looking at your results, your counts don't typically go above 20.

However, there is something weird in that the first count returned for every task is 53, which is pulling the average up. It's as if the first count is something fixed, like a version number or some calibration figure?

Or just a bug.

Random example:

returned 53 0

Can't post the full results as the server claims it's spam.
