I want to do a quick down and dirty article with some basic advice to using a radiological meter.  When I train actual first responders on the use of their specific equipment the class lasts 8 to 16 hours.  In the space of a 10 or 15 minute video I obviously cannot cover everything.  
Health physicists, Radiological Safety Officers, and anyone that uses radiological detection equipment on a professional basis will probably lose their mind over this article because it is so generic, but if you have bought, or are planning to buy a meter for your own personal use then you should know some guidelines for its use, and frankly there are not a lot of ways an individual can receive this training on their own.
