> I have recently decided to purchase a geiger counter, for general use and for > possible survival applications. I have seen several different types of devices Heath kit sells a general purpose radiation monitor that features a small geiger-mueller tube with a mica window. It is suppose to detect soft x-rays, alpha, beta and gamma rays, (will not detect neutrons). It comes as a built it yourself kit, (piece of cake to put together), and resales for around $130.00, (the exact same model is featured, pre-built, from Edmunds Sci. for another $100.00 if money is no object).
