Ok some of you who keep a regular check on stations on radmon.org might have notice my station information change to 'Testing radmon.org radbox-20' or something along those lines.

That's because I have been making an external, waterproof background radiation monitoring box that will be available to buy on radmon.org.

Its features:
- Regulated tube HT power supply
- SBM-20 tube
- Waterproof case with cable gland
- Waterproof count LED
- Flange mounting case for easy fixing
- LED and audio click can be enabled/disabled as required
- Connects to your PC via 1 x USB and 1 x gold plated 3.5mm jack into Mic In or Line In
- Can use RadLog on Windows or pyradmon.py on Linux and other platforms (thx Thimo )
- 10m of high quality 4.8mm diameter cable, flexible and well screened

Its not quite complete yet, the case decorations need to be chosen and a better USB plug found. But its very close to being completed.
Price is to be announced once prototype is complete. It will be well under £100 and there will be a cheaper DIY version and also a high sensitivity SBM-19 version, called the radbox-19.
I would like to make a test run of 10 units, so need 10 preorders. Would anyone be interested? Thoughts and comments welcome!

> almost wish the connector was mounted on the bottom to perform a drip loop, but looking at the size of it, probably not enough room for it, correct? looks nice thou !!

Hey Dan. Don;t know what your plans are with this, but you can send me one in a kit.
Can do a build and save you the time.

Cheers

That's a good thought, unless you want to keep strict control over it.

Ha ha, of course I would be, are you kidding
