- This EMF meter review video will show you what to look for when selecting the best emf meter for RF radiation detection. Not all EMF meters are great for detecting certain types of EMF. Most people think EMF is a singular term/thing, but in reality there are several types of EMF. And each is it's own specialty in some cases, but when checking EMF in your home, it's imperative that you know which meters work best for your needs. Otherwise you'll have a false sense of security, and may be putting yourself or your kids at risk.
Trifield TF2 EMF Meter -  amzn.to/3z9GfOy
Acoustimeter AM-10 - amzn.to/3wR7QTq
New updated model: Acoustimeter AM-11 amzn.to/38t2y7e
I have other EMF meter review videos that cover Cornett meters, other Trifield meters, etc... Please know I use and love the Trifield TF2, just not for detecting rf radiation, wifi routers, or checking cell phones. If you're looking to detect wifi radiation and any type of rf radiation emissions, most of the videos covering emf meters for electric and magnetic fields aren't going to the best fit.

First off, your battery is pretty low. As an amateur radio operator I have a responsibility to assure proper radiation and distance of my transmitter and antenna systems from myself and my neighbors. I have the same Trifield TF-2 in RF mode and sitting 10ft away from my WiFi router is showing solid ~3mW/m2 with the peaking at ~4.2mW/m2. I think you may have a defective TF-2. Maybe buy another one to test with.
The RF antenna (but not the MAG or ELEC antennas) on the Trifield is directional. It’s placed on the top-left corner iirc, and you have to point it at whatever direction you want to measure. This is described in its documentation. You were measuring a few feet above the router.
I think he knows that ... another Thistube salwsman.
@@chipsramek3868But some of us don’t know that so this was helpful for me.
Excellent info. Thanks, Matt.
Thanks for the comaprison Matt ! Valuable info :)
Great video Matt !!
Did you take into account the fact that your batttery is nearly dead?
Electronic devices with very specific units of measure like EF, EMF in both magnetic and electric origin need at minimum 50% battery capacity in order to function properly.
There are certain devices with much higher sensitivity for certain frequencies & applications as you have and do mention, without question.
Good content and explanation for possible deviations so keep up the informative vlogs.
I just bought the Trifield TF2 and the RF is super sensitive. It picks up amazingly especially when I move my mobile phone near it, but even when my mobile is far away from it.
Matt, thanks for the video. I've heard elsewhere that in order to obtain an accurate RF reading from the TriField TF2, one should generally assume whatever number it is revealing (in microwatts per square meter) is 10 times stronger in reality. Would you agree with that? Thanks
ty for the video....did you get the new tf2 meter?? yet as the geo said...and if so does it work better?
Thanks for comparing and the links. I’m planning to buy one but now it looks like I need to buy two. Btw, what’s the equipment for testing body voltage?
This video is two years old. Some miss steps within, still useful to illustrate how rf meter sensitivity is super important for detecting RF radiation like wifi routers, cell phones, etc... I love both EMF meters, but one is a terrible tool for certain types of EMF, great for another. The purpose of the video is to illustrate how easy it is to have a false sense of security in your sleeping environment... potentially putting yourself or your children at risk.
Should test for Formaldehyde off-gassing from the wafer board on the bedroom walls.
Is it possible that the reason for the zero reading is this is an older meter, where the reading was wrong?
Found this on another video:
NOTE: At this time (Mar18) AlphaLab has let us know that a mistake was made with the placement of the decimal point in relation to Radio Frequency (RF) radiation measurement. The decimal point on the very first models needs to be 2 places to the left. Meaning: if the display reads 250.0, you should read that as 2.5 mW/m2. This would explain why the readings seemed so high in comparison to other meters. Glad they picked it up so quickly.
Check out GQ EMF-390, it’s more advanced, higher sensitivity, etc
If someone feels they are being targeted with emf, what meter would you recommend?
I want to test my PEMF mat strength. Also test my sleeping environment. Which would you recommend?
Hi Matt. I’m just beginning to learn about this. What meters would you recommend to test a new home? It is located about 1/4 mile down the mountain from a large radio tower and we’d like to know if it’s safe to live there. I’m sure there is also a cell tower nearby but I haven’t located it yet. Thanks!
There are many budget devices that can help you, I tested many and most of them are useful, but they have pros and cons, you need to check it out and choose what you like.
The Acoustimeter also doesn't show anything on average mostly (from a distance). Only 1 µW/m² sometimes which is 0.001 mW/m². So the TF2 not showing much in average is not that abnormal since it probably detects average just below 0.001mW/m². However i have seen the TF2 jump to 0.003 mW/m² which is = 3 microWatts. If you compare peak on both meters (from a distance), they both pick up about the same: 0.2 V/m = +- 0.106 mW/m².
0.3 V/m = +- 0.238 mW/m². The TF2 does show peaks between +- 0.100 to 0.200 mW/m² now and then. To be fair the Accoustimeter does show them more often and seems more sensitive and reliable for checking RF, so you seem right that it is the better meter of the two to check for RF.
Agreed, but as I said in the video, using them for detection is quite different than taking measurements. For most people looking to get sleeping environment close to zero, detection is where it's at. But you are right on the measurements. Also my fault for not editing this video and adding context: this was recorded two years ago when I was living in Maine in a zero rf environment (other than self induced equipment) I just never uploaded it, and people keep asking why I say no go on trifield for rf detection.
My trifield shows the rf by my router but significantly drops off around 6 feet or so
You just Gunna touch that bug... Lol
I am not here to condemn your video, but the Trifield is not multi a directional tool. I think one of the commentors of your video stated this. Also you can correct me if I am wrong but the Acoustimeter measures in V/M and the Trifield for RF measures in milliwatts per square meter. If you look at the peak measurment at the top right of the Trifield device you will see it has a fluctuating number. This number seems to be a very close correct conversion of the rounded number readings on the Acoustimeter.
So the Trifield meter I need to use the peak numbers? Not the display numbers? Thanks
it does detect . The peak
is there a budget EMF reader u recommend?

So my wife and I have started grounding ourselves at night when we sleep. I just have a antistatic band hooked up to a extension cord only using the grounding portion of the power outlet. What’s the best way to test if the grounding is working on our body’s?
I’m sure it’s working, but is it working in conjunction with a neutral bus bar in the panel with transient voltage on the line? You need a scope to see it really
You need a voltmeter or multimeter, make sure the ac voltage goes to zero and the dc voltage goes up when testing your body’s voltage
Why does my meter read higher when left alone on the bed pointed towards the router. As opposed to held in hand. Peak is 6.9 average
Maybe your body is grounding it?
So what is the best device to buy to test for overall EMFs, radiation and what not? I am super uneducated on this and don't know the exact differences in radio, electronic or magnetic frequencies and what is most dangerous. I don't want to spend a fortune to determine what places are best to sleep in my house to minimize radiation damage of all kinds. What is my best bet in that case?
The videos I made may be very helpful for you.
@@Merializer You have a lot of videos. Any specific ones that you can recommend regarding the question?
@@candanielI have recommendations yes. But there is no simple answer to your question. If I would need to mention 1 budget meter I would be biased, since all have flaws. But it's still very useful to have a budget device even with the flaws they aren't that bad. Good devices cost a lot of money, but all devices will detect strong fields, which is usually the most important, unless you have EMF sensitivity and you want the best. Hence the videos so you can choose yourself. I separated it in 3 main categories: electric, magnetic and RF. The recommends for best RF mode is in a pdf file in the description of the last video about RF, at the very bottom of the pdf. The recommends for magnetic is in the description of the last video about magnetic and the recommends for electric is in the description of the last video about electric of that video series. It's still kinda vague though, you still will need to watch some tests to figure out what you like.
Battery in trifold almost dead!!
Does anyone know if the fly survived?
Something not right. The tri-field will almost never read zero, as shown, it will register above zero. The trifield might beb roken?
You can test a device you purchased outside away from any kind of EMF and in a faraday box. I did that with devices in videos (3/13 for example).
If the RF wave, the RF reading from the Trifield isn't strong enough move the needle from your sitting or sleeping location does it really matter? If it can't pick up any reading unless next to the source it's pretty useless for RF and was probably marketed just to increase sales. Until they are busted as in this video!
No disrespect but my TF2 has so far detected everything that it is suppose to. I can walk in any room and even outside and it gives me even small readings. I think you may have a faulty meter maybe. I put my TF2 8 ft from my router and it detected instantly and even my light bulbs it detected over a foot away 🤔
Dude idk what is going on with you but my router is on the first story and I'm on the second story and opposite side of the house and getting readings as high as you are pointing right against the router from this far away. I'm only 2.4Ghz as well.
The company reached out and let me know my meter had a faulty pre amp and something was wrong with it. Sent me a new one, still not as sensitive as my other meters, but works much better than this. New video demonstrating shortly…
Crazy I had my tf2 just sitting on and its now bounced all the way up 0.700 same distance away from router wtf
I am trying to see if my car is spying on me, also, I did not turn on any thing or on-star
My meter work good
I got 32.7 RF strength with AirPods, is that and issue?
Did you ever find your answer?
Hi All, I have measured some readings between 5000 - 15000 that is constant RF (peak) signal in my flat in Romford, UK! I really don't know how to rectify this, we have purchased the flat 2 years ago and I am feeling the effects of this radiation already! My question is - can i do something - like placing copper sheets in order to stop this or shall we all move out ASAP?
Get in my Facebook group and post some pictures of your place… need a visual
Please Help me too, couldnt find ur group, Just ur Profil 🙈
Bro there's something wrong with your tf2 I am even further away from my wifi router and I am getting 0.104 bouncing back and forth it will go as low as a 0.080 at times
Holy shit my whole house is just being slammed with rf frequency and I only have one wifi router some places its 3.040 it wasn't like that at first I had to have it on for 5 10 minutes and its not going down
But I've just tested my tf2 and I'm sat 15 ft away from my modem and it flickers like crazy🤔
0.8 to 3.7,so I'm not wanting to argue with anyone but everything you just said and showed is your tf2😳
Where did you buy it go swap it or try a different one, because like I say mine do not do what yours did not do😬
Different modems or routers emit at different levels. His Trifield probably works just fine.
Well , I just got the trifield , welp. What can I do with this one ? Any way to hack ?
A Trifield TF2 is a useful device, if you want the know the pros and cons versus a EMF-390 watch my videos.
I’m watching on my phone 😺
Agreed, Trifield is worthless for RF.
What about the new TF2?
I’m assuming you’re confused? The 100xe is the older model
@@matt-justice - What are you thoughts on the GQ EMF-390? Other videos online show that it is better than Acoustimeter. What is your experience with the GQ EMF-390? Thanks!
look at the battery strength on the TF 2 .....not really a fair test if the TF 2 has batteries that are just about dead
looking up safe baby equipment. does anyone know if a battery operated baby swing emits harmful waves if the baby is close to it?
They absolutely do if wireless RF transmitters are built in. Wired monitors or powerline adapters are your friend
@@matt-justice thanks. Would you concur that wired current could also be harmful? I'm thinking that you have an ac current going to a device that has a motor close to the baby's head
@@matt-justice This is hilarious, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Powerline adapters are well known to produce tons of EMI because power lines contain no shielding. This also leads to them needinghigh transmit powers, so if for some reason you care about RF radiation, which you clearly don't understand, you should use Wifi.
Make the videos and disable the comments. Problem solved
That poor fly!
😂Can it Detect Ghost ! Video demo have !
This device in proper testing using signal generators with pulses etc show this does not detect any radio frequency RF, buy another device that actually does
Sorry Sir, but you’re using this meter incorrectly.
