Radex RD1706 vs Terra-P MKS-05 dosimeter comparison (background radiation)

The Radex RD1706 features two Geiger Muller detector tubes while the Terra P comes equipped with only a single tube. They are both new generation dosimeters, with digital displays and a multitude of functions.

For my area, indoor radiation level is 0.10uSv/h, so they both reach the result correctly.

Without the plastic cover on the Terra? Same results?

What was the cost for the Radex 1706 ...before Japan?

Thanks

@Powdermonkey99 on Ebay most sellers were giving it for 140USD . A fair price.

There is a wiki where you can enter your results of measuring radioactivity.

If you have a geiger-counter please help monitor radioactivity at

Radiation watch Wiki. Thank you.

@Xaphooncat currently it shows 0.13uSv/h @ my location (Timisoara, Romania)

I've put your value in the table on the wiki. You can update the value by clicking the edit button on the result-site at 'Radiation watch Wiki'

The Terra-P got the correct result quicker, and it's not noisy.  It seems better. No ?

@kw757 The Radex 1706 is more sensitive. Actually I only use that one lately.
