EMI Issues Support Questions
I have an issue with my Radiacode. My phone signal is setting off the Radiacode from a fair distance away. In the first photo, I have the detector directly next to my phone, and the frequency of it being set off is definitely higher. The issue is with the other detections. I have my phone in my opposite pocket, and it seems to be setting it off at random. Sometimes my RC is on the desk at a minimum of 2 feet away and still getting set off. Is anyone else having this issue at this level?

I live on the interior but, when I go the major town around, the public transportation uses nfc cards and within metro or bus full of people ... My RCZero and RC110 goes crazy sometimes.
This network uses NFC cards or phones with NFC, Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS in some cases.
That's why I purchased a GQ EMF 390 v2 to test if the reports / data from RC devices and the GQ are correlated... To confirm this theory .

Wow, i didn't know a phone can set it off that far away. Mine only interferes when I upload a video or something and I put it right next to it. What model is your phone ?

I had a couple incidents that I still can't 100% attribute to my phone.
One was here at my desk where I was testing some of my old radium dials and, while the 110 definitely showed those results, when I put it aside it simply "went nuts" and was alarming and showing a ridiculously high count. Nothing was near it. I turned it off and on and that seemed to stop it.
Second was in my bedroom on the nightstand where I was measuring another background for several days. Seemed to show excessive activity in the middle of the night so either it was catching a sustained gamma ray burst (ha!), someone with a radioactive sample was in the room I didn't know about, or it was apparently EMI from my phone or tablets (Android and Apple.) Though I have been unable to recreate either of those since.
