An analog needle, a sensitivity switch, an audible alert and a 9 V battery. That is the whole device, and for well under fifty dollars it does the one job asked of it: showing whether the local field is quiet or jumping. The single axis sensor means the case has to be turned to find the strongest direction, an old habit that experienced hunters perform without thinking. A transparent housing version is also sold.
This is the meter to hand a first timer or to buy three of, so a group can watch several rooms at once without wincing at the bill. The needle beats a digital readout for spotting trends, but it gives no numbers worth quoting in a report, and the plastic body will not survive being dropped down cellar stairs. Serious documentation calls for a calibrated instrument alongside it.
