Posted - 11/02/2023 : 01:26:54 I purchased a GQ GMC-500plus brand-new. Not much is being read by it. There's a click every few minutes. However, I'm getting nothing when I try to test fresh vials of tritium, trinitite, uranium glass, and even my smoke alarms.
Is my unit broken, or am I overlooking anything in the setup? |

Do the usual things: make a factory reset. Take out the battery for a few seconds and reinsert, restart. Any changes?
It should show the anode voltage in the menu. How many Volts does it show? |
