Very well done video. I have this instrument and appreciate you making this video. I was not sure about how the scaler function worked so I thank you for clarifying that point. Should my 44-9 probe be calibrated to cpm vs. mr/hr?
@TheNuclide: The 44-9 (pancake) detector is designed for detection and measurement of contamination, which is normally measured in CPM and then often converted to DPM. Pancake GM detectors are not typically used for exposure rate measurements (mR/hr). A better choice for exposure rate measurements would be a side-window GM detector like the 44-38 probe or a scintillation detector like the Model 44-2 which is well suited for low level (less than 50 mR/hr) exposure rate measurements.

What a well presented informative review.
A great instrument for sure. Best feature is having two HV set points for different probes.
