Question 1

Will this be able to measure 5G when it's rolled out please?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No as far as I know. The meter goes up to 8GHz whereas 5G may eventually go on beyond that as far as I understand it. However, from what I can gather, 5G will start off at the 'lower' end e.g. around 7/8GHz so the meter should certainly prove useful. I'd buy one anyway as they really are worthwhile and should stay current for a few years yet i.e. until they decide to fry our brains at ever higher frequencies! I don't go out without mine as I'm testing everything e.g. I've just changed my car on account of the high RF inside the cabin and bought another which has much less RF. I wouldn't have even known about this unless I'd bought the meter. Easy to operate and highly recommended!

Question 2

I do not use wifi and use hard wired connection yet this is giving the audio signal of wifi?

Accepted Answer

If you receive a signal, that means that it is there.  It could come from your neighbouring houses or apartments, they might have WI-FI, or even from cars driving by, GPS has it as it has to ping the nearest tower all the time, maybe it is the smart meter.  You can locate the source by turning the meter to where the signal is strongest.  The meter picks up signals from cell phones, towers, microwave ovens and anything that emits this kind of radiation.  A fly screen door with metal wire mesh for example will stop the Wi-FI.   Also, your printer, although plugged in, might be set to wi-fi within the software-configuration.  I hope this helps you.

Question 3

I am buying a property that is 200m from a phone mast. Will this help see if it's a problem? Or will just pick up emf's closer so can't tell? thanks

Accepted Answer

It will help you to tell if it is a problem.  I have great faith in this machine and regularly take it out with me.  It tells me, for example, that the phone mast 300 - 400 metres from the grocery store is in the red zone for people, like me, who are sensitive to EMFs.  It may be worth your while reading more online about the issue of phone masts near property.   There is some research that shows rates of illness rise within 400 metres of phone masts.   I couldn't tolerate 200 metres and would get headaches very quickly, but everyone is different.

Question 4

Does it detect radiation from communications masts for ambulances and taxis?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried it on ambulances and taxis, just in the house for wifi. It depends what frequencies ambulances and taxis use. If they're between 200 Mega Herz and 8 Giga Herz then it should, if you can get within the right range.
