MEL-8704R-REM



Here is what the manufacturer says:

EMF - Ambient Temp. - Red Flashlight - EMF Radiating Antenna
Detects EMF & Cold Spots Simultaneously
Selectable units of deg. F/C
EMF "Burst" Mode Feature for Rapid EMF Detection
Easy to see "Red Night View" Backlight Display with On/Off Button
Glow in The Dark Push Buttons
Fast Response Thermocouple Temperature Sensor
Record Feature Captures Min & Max Values
Selectable Sound for REM detection
REM Multi-Color lights correlate to signal strength
50 & 60 Hz operation
30Hz to 300Hz response
REM Feature radiates 360 deg.
Accuracy of 5% at 50-60Hz
Instantaneous Response To REM Field Interruption
9Vdc Operation

Pro's in real world conditions:

The meter is still amazing at accurate emf measurements down to 0.1mg, and the fast response ambient air temperature readout. The flashlight works great for dark rooms. You can see roughly 15-20ft if your eye sight is good:) The antenna for the REM feature is shorter than you might expect which is nice to carry or sit anywhere. The color coded lights, and audible tones are great for strength of the REM feature. Battery life is good at almost 13hrs and still running strong.

Con's in real world conditions:

I wouldn't say it is a con, but with the MEL-REM you have to make sure you hold the meter loosely at the bottom of the unit. Otherwise the signal will detect your hand, and you will get possible false readings.

Overall I would rate this device a 10 out of 10 making it a perfect addition to any team's arsenal of investigation tools. You get your EMF levels, ambient air temperature, red flashlight, touch sensor device, the option to turn the audible sensor on/off, run the REM function separately, as well as record the highest and lowest emf readings in a room to document them.

REM-POD Amp



Here is what the manufacturer says:

Easy to View Bright RED, GREEN, BLUE & Yellow Indication
Audible Tones Correlating To Field Disturbance
Glow in the Dark Surface Allows Easy Visibility (Glows for 24 hrs.)
9Vdc Operation
Instantaneous Response To Field Fluctuations & Spikes
Toggle Switch ON/OFF
Mini Telescopic Antenna provides 360 Degree Coverage
New Amplified REM-Pod with 3X Sensitivity Increase
Response Time: 100msec.

Pro's in real world conditions:

I have to say, as far as a device this one is bar none the best I have ever used or tested! There are clear led indicators, and the audible tones can be heard from the other side of a house! The camera's pick it up great in the dark or light conditions. The battery life is great, it is a solid device not feeling flimsy in your hand. It runs off of one 9v battery, and ours is still going after approximately 12hrs of use.

Con's in real world conditions:

While I wouldn't say there are any con's about the unit there are some things to be aware of while using the device. If you can stray away from any close conductor source (i.e ground wire for a building, transformer packs, etc..) you will not get false readings. These will amplify the device beyond normal conditions.

My overall rating for the REM-POD Amp from DAS Distribution is a 10 out of 10. It is literally the only device that can be used to verify something is able to "touch" things. Giving investigators, and researchers solidity on camera that something can manipulate and distort an energy field. You can pick them up directly from DAS Distribution
