Picture is of a reading on an outcrop (thorite?). I rock-hound but don't want to be breathing this stuff! I can carry it when hiking and it will start the audio beeping when I hike over the hot spots.
The mR/hr and micro Sv are accurate as measured against the calibrated instruments at work.
The counter is high as measured against the alpha counter at work, possibly because it is counting more than just the alpha.
Works great, good battery life.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021
I compared the GMC-600+ CPM reading with an S.E. International Ranger Alert reading with both of them flat on a granite countertop. The readings were essentially the same.
I bought a uranium ore sample to use for testing/demonstration. It came in a metal container with a certification document from "Images SI Inc." stating that they tested the sample and measured 1,682 CPM using their GCA-07W geiger counter.
To avoid contamination, I left the sample in its plastic bag while I tested it with my S.E International Ranger Alert and my GQ GMC-600+. Both the Ranger and the GMC-600+ have open windows with pancake detectors. Here are my results:
Ranger readings:
Direct contact with the plastic bag = 9,400 CPM
Separated by a piece of paper = 6,400 CPM
With plastic cap covering detector hole = 1,650
GQ GMC-600+
Direct contact with the plastic bag = 6,700
The Ranger has a fine grid over the detector opening. The GMC-600+ has a plastic mesh covering a screen. So the sample was about 5 mm further from the GM tube and partially covered by the plastic grid.
My conclusion is that both the GMC-600+ and the Ranger are much more sensitive than the GCA-07W. The Ranger is the most sensitive probably due to the fine mesh protector and the proximity of the grid to the GM tube.
I like the variety of features and the display. I like that this unit has a Dosimeter feature and the next time I am in the field I will compare the readings of this unit with our "pencil" dosimeters. I will also compare this unit to our survey meters.
-The battery life is amazing. I left the unit on all day and the battery life was still at 98%. Very impressive.
-You can choose units in mR/hour (what we use in the U.S.) or uSv/hour which is more European.
-The fact that this unit can detect Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-ray is awesome. So far I have only been able to test Gamma and Alpha, I will follow up when I have X-ray exposure. I don't have a Beta source available to me at this time.
-On the con side, I wish the unit were more ruggedized. I definitely believe if I drop this unit from any height It will break. Some sort of optional "otter box" would be a nice addition.
- The user interface is not very intuitive at first, but once you play with it for a bit you will get the hang of it.
-I wish the unit had a belt clip or some way to attach the unit to the body.

design could be better though. something more friendly to hold/point.
comes with a nice little case
also, it is mini usb not even mini or usb-c :-(
Otherwise is the best to have it in the Graph Mode, where it shows the average radiation over time, with the peak value.
Un point très positif, bien que cet appareil vienne du Canada, je n'ai pas eu à payer de taxe supplémentaire, sur le document joint au colis il était indiqué que l'expéditeur prenait en charge les taxes de douane éventuelles.
Ce modèle coûte un peu plus cher mais a l'avantage de détecter les rayons Alpha.
Les rayons Alpha sont les plus nocifs en ce qui concerne les produits alimentaires.
Ils sont aussi présents lorsqu'ils y a du Radon.
Cela me permet de faire des expérimentations tout en sachant que cet appareil n'est pas suffisant pour quantifier les radiations d'aliments (il faudrait un appareil pour identifier les différents isotopes, qui coûte, lui plus de 1000 €), mais permet d'identifier les aliments qui ne sont pas du tout radioactifs. Pour le Radon, cet appareil n'est pas non plus prévu pour quantifier ce gaz radioactif, mais m'a permis de soupçonner une présence de Radon dans ma maison (différence de radioactivité ambiante entre ma cave et les autres niveaux de ma maison).
Ce qui a été vérifié à l'aide d'un autre appareil (115 Bq/m3 au rez-de-chaussée et probablement 250 à 300 Bq/m3 au sous-sol (mesure en cours et donc pas encore précise (pour une mesure précise il faut 4 semaines de mesures))).
Je referme la parenthèse du Radon, le GMC-600 Plus m'a permis d'identifier certains objets radioactifs et si leur radioactivité était dangereuse ou non. Par exemple, un petit récipient à cacahuètes jaune fluorescent, provenant de ma grand-mère, celui ci contient de l'Uranium appauvri, mais n'est pas dangereux car produit une dose de radiation trop faible. Par contre il y a des manchons (un espèce de bout de tissu) pour lampes à gaz qui sont très radioactifs, la dose maximale annuelle au toucher serait atteinte en a peine 10 minutes ! J'ai aussi pu mesurer qu'une figurine luminescente vendue sur internet et contenant soit-disant du radium n'en contenait en réalité pas du tout.
Il y a aussi d'autres objets que je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de tester mais dont il faut se méfier : des pendentifs sensés produire des Ions bénéfiques (très radioactifs), des pendentifs lumineux (j'en ai commandé un pour tester si radioactif ou pas, le vendeur m'a indiqué qu'il contient du phosphore => un poison !), il y a aussi des pommes de douches contenant des granulés donnant des Ions (idem que pendentif ?), des porte clés lumineux contenant du tritium (un gaz très légèrement radioactif, pas dangereux tel quel, mais très dangereux si il se casse (inhalation du gaz radioactif)), etc ... Si le sujet vous intéresse, je vous conseille de regarder les vidéos de la CRIIRAD sur YouTube ou de Sébastien BILLARD. :o)
