Isn’t MADS too expensive for groups or individuals?
It is true that MADS is expensive but cheaper sensors can be used and these are in the price range of most groups. MADS uses digital sensors, model number 540 from Applied Physics Systems USA. These are the top of the range. However, a cheaper model, the 539 is also very, very good as well. It lacks some sensitivity and features of the 540, but in many respects it is a comparable sensor. It is also about $800 cheaper than the 540. We see many groups extremely well equipped these days usually with handfuls of EMF detectors. A cheaper 539 sensor is about the price of a decent digital camcorder or the combined price of about 3 of the most popular EMF meters. So it is by no means out of reach when viewed in these terms. We suggest also that in order to help raise funds, groups carry out training vigils for new members or the public, give seminars or talks and charge a small fee for these. This will help with the funds. Also if you are doing any media work, ask them for a small fee to your
