Posted 816 days ago by --Norbert uradmonitor is good, requiring that particular hardware. More generic GM tube detectors like those from GQ Electronics or home-made or restored antique units can be used to feed another site, Radmon.org. |

using a GMC-300 for a project detector?
(Message 3968)
Posted 1094 days ago by --Norbert A better map for your sensor is Radmon.org. GMCmap.com in my opinion is too polluted with old data, so is more like a sales history map. |

Hi there - is this project/community still alive?
(Message 3903)
Posted 1462 days ago by --Norbert If your motivation is to provide and receive radiation readings to map-based sites, there are alternatives. Radmon.org and Netc.com are vendor-neutral and offer time-based graphs. Gcmap.com is vendor-centric and offers tables of values. BOINC can be used for other projects at the same time. This project is the only one I know of that combines BOINC and radiation measurements. |

New detectors...
(Message 3851)
Posted 1672 days ago by --Norbert ... there are only three detectors within over a 900 kilometer radius; True for Radioactive@home, but there are detectors in the Atlanta area on Radmon.org and Netc.com. |

Third batch of KIT [Detector V2.61]
(Message 3705)
Posted 1970 days ago by --Norbert There are also other sites that allow a variety of home-built, kit and commercial detectors. See Radmon.org and Netc.com. |

Third batch of KIT [Detector V2.61]
(Message 3697)
Posted 2009 days ago by --Norbert Good to see it finished. Is it posting to the map? I searched your username and that ID doesn't seem to be on the map sensor ID list. |

looking for kit for sale?
(Message 3600)
Posted 2318 days ago by --Norbert The kits for this project were released in limited batches, and the developers appear to have moved on. Unless someone reading this has a personal kit to sell, I would recommend buying a generic pre-made or kit detector, and joining http://Radmon.org. The Radlog software will run alongside BOINC, and your BOINC projects can remain truly number crunching ones. |

Posted 2362 days ago by --Norbert Hi, The admins of this project were releasing kits periodically (I have one), but there is no indication that a new kit is in the works. However another website, http://www.radmon.org allows many options for contributing data, including commercial detectors, kits and DIY units. That site also needs Romanian data collectors. |

Radiation in Warsaw
(Message 3552)
Posted 2524 days ago by --Norbert The online detectors in Warsaw do not show any unusual rise in radiation (including http://www.Radmon.org and http://www.uradmonitor.com/). Your local increase could be caused by a nearby true source such as a medical treatment that decays over a few days. If you suspect your detector may require a test, it is possible to buy a source such as uranium glass beads to expose to your detector. |

The future of the project - detectors, and a "new" project administrator
(Message 3459)
Posted 2841 days ago by --Norbert Hi, This project uses specific kit detectors released periodically by the project organizers, and is not readily compatible with any commercial detector. Several stations do use the commercial GK Electronics GMC-300 or 300E, using separate software written by one of the admins, but the software is not posted on the site and the links in the forum no longer work. A handheld display detector with an audio jack for the click sounds (e.g. GMC-300E+/320) will work on either of these sites: http://radmon.org http://netc.com and likely any detector with an audio jack (e.g. S.E.I Radiation Alert Inspector and Mazur PRM-8000). Some manufacturers have their own map sites but the number of live detectors world-wide is more limited: Safecast.org and the bGeige detector (only the green dots are live) RadiationNetwork.com - several detector types but costly software gmcmap.com - seemingly many GK Detectors but old data is not removed uradmonitor.com - detectors are not meant to be portable hand-held. blackcatsystems.com/radmap |
