WTB: LPM with Ophir or similar sensor

[gozert]

I've been looking for an LPM for a while, and it seems ebay only offers heavily used Ophir sensors or they charge you an arm and a leg.

I'm looking for a good LPM that reads up to >3.5W with a resolution of at least 1mW. Preferably with an Ophir sensor or something of equal quality.

Datalogging is not a must but it would be a plus for sure.


Thanks.

I thought I saw a thread about the Radiant X4 being ready for shipment very soon. I know it said they had 30 ready and a lot more on the way. I think the receiving company got robbed and it was going to take about 2 weeks to resolve. I may be mistaken though.

Yeah, I know about the radiant. It's just that I'd rather have an Ophir or similar sensor for my LPM. I'll probably get it if I can't find what I'm looking for though.

Hi G,
you might want to check out J.Bauer electronics. They have a large selection of LPM'S.

After reading about the guy that sells those LPM's there's no way I'll be buying one from him. Also, 80 bucks for international shipping, what the hell?

Get an ophir head for around 250-300 and plug it to a multimeter

Keep an eye out on ebay, that's your best bet. Haven't seen one in a while though.

yeah LPMs are expensive, pretty much no way around that. any good one is going to cost you probably a minimum of $500 if its in even reasonable condition in my experience, and lets not get into new stuff. I got mine for about that. I'll ask around and see if I can find a good one. might still have one sitting around somewhere. there was one like mine up recently, but I think someone bought it already.

Thanks for the replies guys. I actually managed to get a good new condition Ophir head for 300$ about two weeks ago. Forgot all anout this thread. I'll probably hook it up to a voltmeter sometime these days.
