The Radspod stations have been renamed as follows:

radspod_suburb is now radspod_one
radspod_north is now radspod_two

I will probably keep this naming convention for any further counters that I deploy, so the next would be radspod_three.

radspod_two has come home for a bit as it can no longer live where it was at North Blackpool. It needs a new enclosure and then at some point in the not too distant future I will redeploy this to a different location. For now it is sitting on a shelf in my office. Strangely, this counter (GK Radmon) has always seemed to count a little high. I would get 22 CPM on one counter but more like 29 CPM with the GK Radmon. I will try swapping tubes. Maybe the tube is more sensitive than others? It's an SBM-20, so that would be slightly odd. Or maybe the HV PSU is a little high. I should test. The code running is tried and time tested (same core code I have used time and time again) so I highly doubt that.
