RE: Ion Chamber Instruments

I love my Eberline RO-20.  Rugged, a little slow on response, but that
suits me just fine.  We have 2 at the lab and they haven't given us any
problems at all.  One of them even has a lighted display.  

Jim, you must be a lot tougher than I, I'd never take a beating for a piece
of equipment.  Use it to beat the person that bought it without talking to
me, sure, but never get beaten.
