Light beams, especially lasers, provide an excellent method for carrying audio intelligence and are not detectable by ordinary RF (radio frequency) detectors. For those who need either a very sensitive RF detector or an infrared (IR) detector this unique item allows you to search for sources of either RF or infrared transmissions.
With its bandwidth of 1 MHz to 2500 MHz and its extra sensitive circuitry, it will pick up signals that other detectors may miss. It is designed to pick up subminiature radio and infrared transmitters wherever they are located - in your home, office or car. To change from RF to IR detection, simply use the convenient front panel switch.
Using the SENSITIVITY control and meter readings, you can quickly zero in on hidden RF and IR transmitters. Also use it to check your telephone and its associated wiring for RF bugs and taps. Can even be used to test your IR remote devices (TV remotes, etc.). Spectral Peak at 940 nm.
Weighing only 8 oz., it is furnished in a high-impact case that measures 5.3" x 3.3" x 1.5". The telescoping whip antenna can be extended 33". The unit comes complete with 9 volt battery, antenna and instructions.

REMOTE CONTROL TESTER
Tests any Infra-red Remote Control Device
Remote control not working? Maybe it’s the batteries, maybe the remote is shot, or maybe it’s the TV/VCR/Stereo/AC or other controlled device! This Remote Control tester will confirm the operation on any IR remote control. Simply plug the tester into an AC outlet (100V~220V) and point your remote control at the tester. A red LED will light up and sound will be heard when an IR (infrared) signal is detected
Compact and light construction makes it very portable. A great addition to the tool box of any technician who works with fiber optic systems using infrared.
Has standard European 2-pin plug plus a North American adapter so it can be used in either location.

RADEX RD1503
LOW COST RADIATION MONITOR
Geiger Counter Detects Gamma Rays
Designed for evaluation of ambient dosage of gamma radiation, which can be done by ordinary people in domestic environment (homes, office, food products, construction materials, soil, etc.). Also, the instrument can be used by industrial personnel, working with ionizing sources of radiation. Moreover, the instrument can detect objects, polluted by beta active radioactive nuclides.
The instrument uses a Geiger counter to detect the amount of gamma radiation within 40 sec. and indicates the values in µSv/h and µRem/h on an LCD screen. Registration of every particle is indicated by a click sound, which makes it possible to quickly determine the location of hot spots.
Incorporates the following features: audio alarm with 3 adjustable thresholds, continuous updating of readout in proportion as duration of measurement increases, display illumination, MENU in English. CE. 3 year factory wty. Radex Model RD1503.

RADEX RD1706
Russian Made Geiger Counter
RD1706 is the improved version of the Low Cost Geiger Counter for beta, X-ray and gamma-rays with these advantages:
• better precision of indications
• expanded range of indications up to 999.0 µSv/h
• ability to register x-ray radiation
• reduced time of observation
There are two Geiger–Muller counters which reduces time of observation from 40 seconds to 26 seconds while improving the precision of indications. And the time of observation automatically adjusts from 26 seconds to as low as 1 second when strong radiation sources is detected. This is necessary to ensure safety of professionals working with high radiation sources.
Widely used in commercial settings, it is an inexpensive item to have at home to ensure that Radiation level never exceeds safe levels. Simple, easy to use English instructions provided
